Actually Terry the best I've seen is a C3 Yamaha left outside at a bush camp around Alice Springs. So OK, it was covered by a tin roof. I suppose I could have set up a complete system with a genset but when its 45 C in the shade you bloody near have to spray it with water to keep the humidity up.

I have my little beefs about Damp-Chaser systems varying a bit from 42%, but they do seem to keep the piano's environment in some suitable range of relative humidity. Geez, what does one say to this? These conditions are worse than those at many landfills - piano would be better off there! I just can't in any way shape or form imagine having any piano exposed to these kind of conditions without a good humidity control system and expect it to work more than a month or so. Perfect or not, time for a DC unit - maybe two - one inside and one under a cover on the back. > > Terry Farrell
