Boston GP-178 grand. No bottom cover. Six rods totalling 195 watts. Top of humidistat is 2" below soundboard panel. No humidifier (room never gets below 40% RH. No light kind. Left probe on humidistat for 20 minutes or so - plenty of time for full equalization No, I am not aware of barometric pressure influence on RH.

Checked RH this evening. Right at 58% RH. Rods stone cold.
