Hi Julia,
 
Looks like you've got lots of different opinions on this list. Situation
normal. ;-)
 
I'd install a 50 watt bar with humidistat for a basement application.
I've seen too many times when a 25 watt didn't give enough
dehumidification. 
 
No need to add humidifier for the basement, unless it is a nice
piano/they've got money/it is critical that piano be kept as close to
pitch as possible. I haven't had a piano in a basement yet that met all
of those criteria.

Hello Julia
25Watt DamppChaser for an upright (installed suspended half-way up the
kneeboard area). 15Watt for a grand (installed over the keys) Why use
anything else? Protek CLP if the centres start siezing.

Greetings,

         A church where I tune is moving their Baldwin studio upright
from upstairs into a bit of a damp situation, to their basement. The
choir director wants a Damp Chaser installed, however I think it will
merely need a heater bar. The question is, what wattage? Looking in the
Schaff supply book there are about 10 models to choose from. How do I
determine which is the right one?

Thanks
