Is your humidity ideal for your piano?

What is DamppChaser

Why humidity control is important

Why humidity control is important

DamppChaser Systems add heat or humidity as needed to maintain optimal stability. Pianos using these systems hold their tune longer .

Why humidity control is important

High humidity can lead to sticking components, premature oxidation, and rust. Dryness leads to loose action components and keys, leading to rattling, as well as cracks in bridges and soundboards, and loose tuning pins.

How DamppChasers work

Your Humidistat monitors the RH and activates the humidifier or dehumidifier to  stabilize the wood in your piano. It works 24/7 for you, and for a lot less than your HVAC system.

I typically install two dehumidifiers underneath your piano's soundboard, as well as the humidifier and control unit or humidistat. For  pianos over 7' I might install a third dehumidifier, depending on conditions.
