Hunh? Terry, the RH was about 90% for 2 months here in Georgia. True, many peoples' air conditioning knocks it down, today, but that's only recently. Many of the pianos I see were from before AC and have suffered mightily from it. That's what I meant. Blued pins, even in relativeley nice homes here, seem to develop a light rust. I'd love to use them, but fear they'll look awful, soon. Thump P.S. There are also TONS of Kimball-Whitneys here! --- Andrew and Rebeca Anderson <anrebe@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Terry > Here in south Texas I see nice pianos in rooms where > the RH is > high.
