I wonder what kind of RH changes you and your instruments have to go 
through. In 40 years of harpsichord playing, and many different 
instruments, I've never had to fiddle with dampers or jacks. Nor do I 
know of anyone who has ever had to. What is your average RH in your 
music room, and how much does it vary from one season to another? And 
what do you mean between seasons? When the heating goes on and off?
