"Musicsorb" humidity control

[Bec and John]

Hi Terry,

I would be interested to know what you find out about this. Although 
I'm sure the Dampp-chaser is an effective unit, for whatever reason I'm 
not happy about putting it in my piano. So I've been looking for 
non-electric alternatives. The "Musicsorb" is ridiculously inexpensive.

I wonder if it's similar technology to the hydro/dry units.
