<DIV><SPAN class=875542218-27112006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
would suggest installing a piano life saving system WITH a long cover that would
go almost to the ground. Get the system with dual humidifier and this should
help enormously. I have a setup like this and since the long covers and the
dampp chaser, the pianos are stable. You have to train users to remove and then
replace the cover though.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

changes!<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi list,
</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>We have a classroom/recital
hall with a huge humidity problem. Has anyone else had this problem:
</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The room seats about 200
and has a Steinway D from the late 70's and a harpsichord. The room can
change by 30-40% or more in a day! Over the T-Day weekend I put in
one of those small humidistat from Pianotek and it showed a range of 24-80%!!!
Not only are my tunings worthless for recitals if I tune in the morning
and the concert is in the evening (as some days, that is the only time the
room is available), but it has got to be wrecking havock on the
instruments. It doesn't have a piano life saver system in it, and I wonder how
much it would help with such wild swings. I and all the faculty have
complained about it (apparantly for years prior to my getting here this year)
and nothing gets done.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Can I do
more that just cover them and go ahead and put a DC system on it? They
do have thick blanket style covers on them.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
