[pianotech] undercover for Yammy with discl.

[Garret Traylor]

Aloha Wim,
Dampp-Chaser works on the principal that dampness loves and seeks out
cool(er) air.  As long as the temperature cavity in the piano remains warmer
than the outside air then the humidity will seek a cooler area and is in
essence chased away.  When the cavity in the piano begins to get too dry
then the humidity is allowed back in.  The humidistat like a thermostat
reliably knows when to turn off or on.  A measurable relationship between
Temperature and Humidity is known as Relative Humidity (RH).  Humidistat's
come in three flavors: 39% Dry, 45% Average, 51% Wet*.  Call Piano Life

Wim,
I think the dampp-chaser is appropriate.  The humidistat is intelligent
enough to work in concert with the heat from the player system.  

Kindest Regards,

Garret

 

This will be more of a temperature than a humidity problem. Does the
humidistat work the same as a thermostat? 

Wim
