Cold and dry

[Marcel Carey]

I've tuned pianos in cottages (Québec cold winters) that had nothing in
them and the pitch was always RIGHT ON. These were old pianos and there
were rusty, but I can't tell for sure if it was because of their life in
these cottages. If the temperature is kept down in the winter, then the
humidity level will stay reasonable. I have people put mothballs inside
the piano to prevent mice. They can't stand the odor. If I was to
install something in a situation like the one you mentioned, I would
only use the dehumidifier bar with a "wet" humidistat.

I wouldn't keep anything 'on'. With the place being vacant,
why offer a comfortable environment for mice.
