Wet is bad, damp is pretty bad.  The real idea is if you've got decent
temperature and humidity control you can tolerate it.  The worst is that
if it's near a "leaky" (air not water) window or door you're humidity
swings will make the tuning a problem.

Tons of midi material is floating around out there.   An intrepid bunch
has built homebrew optical scanners to convert tons of old reproducer/
player rolls to midi.   All you really need is a modest
computer with a midi interface.  There are also a ton of relatively
inexpensive material on ebay on a regular basis.
