Whole room humidity control better than Dampp Chaser. ( Right?)

[AlliedPianoCraft]

As it's been stated here 1000's of times, there is a proper way and a wrong way to use anything. Come on now...........do you think anyone would be that stupid as to "blast the mist right into the piano"! It's the technicians job to instruct the client on the proper use of any equipment you install or recommend that they use.

  Greg,
  My (anecdotal) observation is that a standard DC installation on a grand will not promote oxidation of steel strings and copper windings, while usage of a room humidifier often will result in rapid accumulation of rust & dull brown copper windings. If customers are inclined to use a room humidifier I urge them to keep the lid closed when not in use. Customers sometimes blast the mist right into the piano -- sigh -- they think they're "doing the right thing."

     I believe that it's even a bit of a stretch to claim that it helps to prevent rusty strings in a grand as the pictures would seems to indicate.
