<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In Florida, because the RH in most =
homes stays
above 40% RH, we make sure that the RH of the soundboard =
environment does
not get significantly above 42% (or there abouts) by installing the
dehumidifier. We don't worry about the RH falling below some 42% =
ideal,
because it just ain't gonna happen!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, have you ever measured the RH at =
the
soundboard over a period of time? Have you ever observed the RH to =
remain at a
constant 42% RH at the soundboard? That only happens in the four-color =
brochure I'm afraid. I'm not DC bashing - I think their products are =
wonderful
and the DC systems work great - I love the performance of the one =
installed on
my Boston grand. But if you ever stick a high quality hygrometer at =
the
soundboard for a while and observe RH at intervals you will find =
significant
deviations from the magic 42% RH! What the system does seem to do =
however is
help to keep the MC of the soundboard at an amazingly constant
moderate percentage - and that is what is important for great =

<DIV>Hey Phil,</DIV>

<DIV>We're talking about keeping the piano at a constant 42%, not =
making
sure it doesn't get below it. There's a big difference.</DIV>
