Damp-Chaser in Texas

[Don]

Hi Barbara and Andrew,

That is exactly my approach. I monitor the piano's stability versus the
humidity. If it exceeds what I believe may be a musician's tolerance level,
then I recommend humidity control. The exceptions to this are concert
instruments where Damppchaser systems are imho a "must do" for stability.
