[pianotech] Dehumidifier rods

[Tom Rhea, Jr.]

Ohhhhh boy!  I'm going to have to reserve judgment on this one.  Without any
way to monitor humidity (i.e., a Humidistat), it's a crap shoot as to its
effectiveness.  I'd talk to an experienced Dampp-Chaser technician as to
whether this lash-up is curing a problem or causing an even worse one.  Just
my humble 2¢  worth ...

Hi list
Attached 2 pics of heater rods(15watts) in a grand piano. The heater on the
soundboard according to the tech that installed it helps to prevent rust.
The other rod in the action cavity is the standard installation in our hot
and humid climate. Its on 24/7. Your views pls.
Thanks!
