That pretty well freaks me out, Mike. I keep my mandolin hanging on one of those wall-mount jobs. I hate to put it in the case since I take it down every day. I try to keep a humidifier running in the room during winter when the gas heat has a tendency to dry everything out. It usually stays around 40%, which I understand is about right...right? It's something that occurs to me with passing dread every so often.
On the plus side, if you have to make friends, that F-4 is a good 'un to do it with. I heard you play it in Asheville and it just boomed.
