To return to problem on my piano: the tuning pins were as near perfect
as you can get five years ago when I last tuned.  I had the room hotter
since acquiring a computer, which I am sure decreased the humidity
quite a lot.

The piano is circa 1930's console, a Weber, Kingston, Canada.  One of
the best tones and touch I have played.  My custom "O" roll instrument,
a Winter, New York, is just the opposite.  All the pins on my Weber
stick, although some are a little better after a week of decreased
heat,

Time will tell and it will be some months hopefully if there is going
to be a significant change to the pin situation.  Thanks to all
suggestions and keep 'em coming.
