So Dan,
Did you ever get an answer to this "weather vs cone tension" question you asked
earlier? I was hopeful that Dick DeNeve would have some input on your question.
If you did, I missed it, and I'm curious because I haven't noticed anything like
that here, and I have forced hot air, which is the dryest form of heat there is.
I run a couple of humidifiers thru the heating season, and using a humidity
meter to monitor, I try for 54% to 56% or as close to that as I can get. That's
about the middle of the "normal" range on the dial, and I figure if it's good for
the people, the reso-guitars won't be all that far behind.
Dan, I think it's all that playing you're doing with "The Innocent Bystanders"
(gotta luv that name) and I think it's probably just time for new strings.
Change them wires bro......you'll need 'em for Joe Val anyways!
