Damp Chaser in old upright

[Tony Caught]

Hi Don, Terry and all,

Don, the statement below is correct. Where I have my nightmares is what
happens if the humidistat doesn't work ?.  I have seen what 25W of heat does
to a piano, what would 50W do if the humidistat malfunctioned. ? Who is
responsible for replacing the piano. ?

Darwin has a funny power supply, lightning strikes, power surges, blackouts,
etc.  What are the risks involved. I think that you can understand my
concerns, I don't want to fit anything to a piano that could possibly cause
the piano harm.

What I would like to see is a fail safe device fitted to the humidistat to
overcome that problem.
