The rooms where we keep our harpsichords (rather small -- 10x8 or so) are humidity controlled by a DamppChaser "brain" and a room humidifier. At one time, there was also a dehumidifier in each room but we soon discovered that the AC managed to keep the humidity down in the wet months just fine. The humidifers are Bemis brand -- two tanks (I think they're 3-4 gallons each). Very clean, very quiet. None of the scale buildup like the old waterwheels. I can't imagine that those heat bars are going to be readily installed within the confines of a fortepiano "box."
