Perhaps this has been previously discussed at length, but I was only
around for the orange peel part, and I don't think that there was
a unamimous consensus on that one.

What do those of you with strong opinions think about keeping a
damp-it or some kind of humidifying device in your case during
the dry season?
Is it necessary?
Does it do a lot?
Does it hurt your pads?
Does it rust your springs?

When you are through with that, any other kind of "wood
maintenance" that anyone has strong opinions about would be
great.
Personal emails are super.

Thanks, Brent

I know this is pretty *boring* after all the flavo-reed and parking lot
discussion.
sorry
