Would humidity level affect thse sound produced by lever-applied strings?
I've noticed that in the summer (by Lake Ontario) sounds are very clear.
Now, in the middle of winter (inland, indoors, pans of water on the radiator),
levers on just one or two strings produce a buzz so I opt for retuning.
Can nylon strings absorb enough moisturto do this?
