Can anyone give me some guidance on what is a good level of humidity to maintain for the health of my harpsichord? 
I live in Oregon where for most of the year the humidity is 80% but then for two brutal summer months it can drop to 20% or less.  So all year I've been running a dehumidifier at about 50% but now it's going to start getting dry as a bone around here.  
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Tom
