Hi Kenneth,

This is a question I have often asked myself and my conclusion is
that it would be worse without a Humidity Control System. I have
never proven that to myself by uninstalling a system and checking the
piano for a couple of years.

I have some pianos, with Systems, that are not as stable as other
pianos, with Systems. I have seen pretty dramatic positive effects
after installing Systems on known pianos and still believe they work and are
worth the trouble. Some of the inconsistencies, I blame on the
weather.(g)

How many dehumidifier & humidifier units do you have installed? I
have a few grands with 2 humidifiers (operated by one humidistat) and
six to eight 35-50Watt dehumidifiers. Call Damppchaser for advise,
they are very helpful.
