I've seen many overdried pianos in the winter here, people tend to heat rooms with gas fires and space heaters and unless the dehumidifier is shut off the results can be terrible. I rarely, if ever, install any humidification but always use the humidistat and have no problems with stability or wood drying out excessively.
