Out here in S. CAL beach area, where the RH seems to NEVER drop below 50%, all the techs i know, including myself install de-humidifiers/stats ONLY, no HUmidifiers. Where you are may require them, but even if those old pianos have only dehumidifiers, but NO stat to regulate it, yes, it can dry the piano excessively. Of course, those OLD, old yellowish plastic elbows don't need the extra drying of a heater rod to cause them to crumble, they do that just fine on their own!
