List, As I'm sure all of you know, a lot of people have been without power in Houston for quite a while. Almost two weeks, now. I have a customer who's still in that position who owns a late 1800's Knabe grand. Around 1890, I think. My question is that because of its age, is this instrument more likely than newer types to develop any damage/problems in the future from not being in air-conditioning for that long? It's been restrung somewhere along the way but beside minor repairs, I believe that is all that's ever been done to it, except tuning. The weather hasn't been TOO bad but the temperature *has* gotten into the low to mid 90's and humidity into the 70%+ range during the day. I'm concerned primarily about any possible structural problems with an instrument this old. I'm hoping that some of you who are more experienced with wood of all kinds could give me some information here. Thanks.
