Aaron, it appears you have been told some tall tails. Simply, if you're going to control humidity locally, as you say, then how would one 'control' it without 'one of those little boxes'..which by the way, if we're talking Dampp-Chaser, and we should be, it's called a H2. If you want to do it right, and we have to assume that you do, then you need to have it professionally installed. Also, depending on where you live will determine if you're going to need to ADD humidity in those low humidity type of climates and times of the year. A lot of information can be found at www.dampp-chaser.com including a qualified technician to install it for you. The piano you described is worth the investment to protect, no? -Phil Bondi(Fl) >
