Here is a short summary of our experience with between the beam and =
below the beam humidifier installations.  Both work well in environments =
that are not exposed to drafts.  Drafts can decrease the effectiveness =
of the humidifier in below the beam installations.

A humidifier mounted between the beams needs roughly an inch of free =
space surrounding it to get adequate air flow so that it functions =
properly.  This is why the smaller grand tank (short tank) is most =
frequently used for between the beam installations in smaller grand =
pianos.  Finally, between the beams installations are less visible, and =
this does make a difference to many piano owners.

There was also a question about dual humidifier Climate Control Systems  =
Dual humidifier systems provide more even moisture distribution than =
single humidifier systems, even in very small grand pianos.  This can be =
useful in pianos which exhibit extreme pitch instability.

Thus, in choosing a Climate Control System and the method for the =
humidifier installation, one must consider the environment external to =
the piano, the space available for a between the beams installation of =
the humidifier, and whether the piano owner is willing to see the =
humidifier tank(s) hanging below the piano.
