[HAM] New Hammond Factory Sound

[wtimm6801 at aol.com]

Humm... I have a humidifier set at 40-45% running in the same room as my wax capped B.  My guitars get really dried out during the winter, gotta keep that wood conditioned!

My understanding is that water absorption is the root cause of wax cap 
deterioration.  Is it possible that the relatively warm and dry climate of 
Lubbock keeps these organs "factory fresh?"  If so, then it's certainly 
logical that there'd be more of a problem in most other parts of the 
country.

Like, say, Seattle.
