>>I would strongly recommend that you keep it well oiled and possibly use
a humidifier. When I moved to South Dakota, my daughter's oboe cracked
the entire length of the upper joint. I believe it was due to the
extreme dryness that develops indoors in the winter. So don't take any
chances. After you have lived there for a while, the wood will possibly
have seasoned a little more appropriately to the climate.

Hey folks, we are talking about Fresno, in the heart of the Great Central
Valley of California. A bit warm in the summer perhaps, but altogether a
much more moderate climate than upstate New York. I don't think Bill has
anything to worry about, particularly moving at this time of year.
