Indeed DampChaser systems continually fight the humidity of the
environment. That's why we use them. 
 
I would probably install 2 50 watt rods, humidistat and a bottom cover.
Problem solved for minimal cost.

Subject: room climate control
 

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.
