Thank you and everyone for your ideas and suggestions. I've wondered about the "over - humidification" idea. I live in Illinois - not the driest place in the country. I also have an HD-28 that I don't play often - it's rested in its case for a while and not played. I took it out the other day, and the strings rang so well that I started this discussion. So it's probably drier than the other two that I keep humidified (out of fear that the wood will crack) - and I'm going to start with keeping the humidifiers out for a few weeks and see where this goes.
Again, thanks to everyone!
