"Seasoned For Destination"

[Will Truitt]

Sorry Ron, I wasn't precise enough about my language. I wasn't referring to
tuning stability but rather integrity of glue joints, pinblocks, and other
parts of the piano that those of us who live in more extreme climates
typically see with pianos.  I'm asking my question in that context.

Reactive? About the same, I'd say, until the pins let go and 
the ribs fall off. Tuning stability isn't the issue, it's the 
self destruct.
