I'd have to know more about the climate history of the room as to why it was determined no dehumidification was needed, but I would have installed the 2-tank system in a C-7. One tank in a C-7 is kind of like putting a VW Beetle engine in a Corvette.

I have a different Dampp-Chaser question. Do any of you install only the humidity half of the system under certain circumstances? If so, what are your decision criteria?? I recently had the opportunity to check out a new Dampp-Chaser installation (by someone else) on a brand new Yamaha C-7 in a multi-purpose civic center type institutional building (the piano is on stage in a large performance/lecture hall). I was admiring the very clean, orderly installation until I noticed there were *no* de-humidifier rods installed… none at all! The water tank & wick system was there, as was the humidistat. They were obviously very recently purchased from Dampp-Chaser (not old left-overs). I called the store that sold the piano (and whose tech installed the stage truck & Dampp-Chaser system) and got a complete run-around!! I’m at a loss to explain the situation. I know that some really humid (coastal) climates call for installations without the humidifier part of the system but this is a new one for me. Can someone educate me on good reasons for something like this?? Regards, Alan B.
