Piano Humidity Control
Pianos are made of wood that can swell and shrink over time due to changes in temperature and humidity.
This can affect the tuning stability and regulation of the action parts. Extreme humidity swings can cause wood to crack and sometimes warp. This could damage the pianos soundboard and pin block causing tuning stability problems. High humidity can also cause metal strings to rust that will cause string breakage. Felt takes on moisture and can cause sticky keys and sluggish action parts.
Damp Chaser humidity control systems can keep the humidity levels in a piano constant. The inside of the piano should stay between 45% and 50% which will keep your piano in good working order for a longer period of time. Being able to control the humidity levels is the main goal. The better you control humidity swings, the longer the piano will last. Direct sunlight can damage the finish over time so be careful where you place the piano in the room.
