Hi

You really need to do something quickly.

It is likely that over time the tuning pins will become loose and tuning will 
be unstable.

While Yamaha seem to survive better than some, I would not risk it.  As 
a temporary measure, even putting a bucket of water somewhere in the 
room will help.

I tell my customers to keep a few plants in the room which they will need 
to water (not near the piano).

Incidently, humidity in the uk is normally around 60 percent.
