Hello,
Thank you all for your comments and advice. 🙂 Last weekend it was quite mild so I took advantage of the fact to take a close look at my windows and put some plastic film on them. (This is my first winter in this place). I ended up sealing a lot of gaps with sealant and weather stripping before putting on the plastic. The result is that not only do I no longer have ice buildup but the relative humidity has actually gone up. In the room where I keep my harp, it varies between 33 and 36, which, while still not ideal, is much better than 27 and 28!! As well, as you suggested Tacye, I am keeping the heat lower in that room, which seems to help. Thanks for listening and for your advice and support.
Happy harping! 🙂Thanks! I did contact the harpmaker. While around 30 is not ideal (but, like the harpmaker said, we don’t live an ideal world), based on what I was able to tell him about some cracks I have noticed appearing in the veneer at low humidity levels (I also sent him a photo), I have nothing to worry about, the cracks are more cosmetic than anything else. He was also able to give me an idea of what would be more problematic. So while my situation is not ideal (and there is not much I can do to change it at the moment without possibly creating worse problems elsewhere), he really doesn’t think it will result in any significant damage. He was really quite reassuring. 🙂
