getting Steinway up to grade



New thing: last week our Steinway got a humidifier installed. The old one was taken out. Looks like it was dead for many years, Dawn the tuner thought. Any wonder the tuning wasn't holding!

So, now, we have to take seriously closing the piano, especially the top lid, so the humidity works INSIDE the piano and does not vainly try to humidify the whole sanctuary. This is standard operating procedure for the care and feeding of pianos. We're fortunate the church last fall accepted the slightly larger budget line item so this could be done. Thanks, Carol.

I'll let the two pics tell the rest of the story.
