Granted, on the coastal areas, the Rod and = Humidistat are generally all that is required to do the job. HOWEVER, = Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington areas NEED the WHOLE SYSTEM! Also, = Olde buildings, (or new ones for that matter), with Steam heat or Hot = Water heat or in the floor heating or in the ceiling heating, definately = need the WHOLE SYSTEM, IMO. I approach it a scientifically as possible, = using a Temperature/Humidity gauge that has memories. Many times, I'll = leave the gauge IN the piano for a week or two, if I suspect a problem = with the environment/client. Then I come back and check it for extremes. = If it's outside the basic boundries of 40%-60% humidity and 50-70 = degrees, the piano needs a system. (Period!) If the client doesn't want = to do the system, then, I reiforce the thought that the piano will not = stay stabel enough to satisfy their musical ear and should be tuned more = often. Whatever the client decides is fine with me. If they choose to do = nothing and still want the piano to be rock solid, I refer them to the = worst tuner in the area!<G> Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
