I have a client with a 7' Kawai grand in a basement studio.  The 
Relative Humidity  is always on the high side (60%).  I urged him to 
monitor the humidity with an electronic hygrometer and to get a 
dehumidifier.

He did this, however the controller on the dehumidifier in very 
inaccurate.  With the controller set at 40%, it cut out when the 
humidity is still above 60%.  The manufacturer told him they are all not 
precise.  He has searched for higher end units, but even the 
manufacturers of these do not guarantee the precision of their controllers.

I would prefer to control the environment in the studio because it 
"should" be a straight forward thing to do.  I feel a Piano Life Saver 
System will simply always be fighting the higher humidity in the room.

I have thought of using a Piano Life Saver humidistat to control a 
simple room de-humidifier.  Would this work?  Would he need a relay  
between the humidistat and the de-humidifier?

Any thoughts, and especially experiences, welcome.
