Be careful, some of the humidifier agents sold commercially for killing
algae in the water will actually create a chemical reaction with the steel
parts in the piano.  I have seen it cause  the strings to be covered in a
white dust.  I am not sure if it is corrosive or not.   I believe that Dampp
Chaser has some information about this.
