Whole room humidity control better than Dampp Chaser. ( Right?)

I don't doubt what you're saying, but I never knew a very wealthy person that would allow that dirty outside air every to enter their home. ;-) grin!

  I sold a new piano to a customer with a brand new house in an exclusive neighborhood. It was probably one of the most expensive homes built in Terre Haute at that time. I tried to sell her on a DC system to protect the investment but she declined saying that her house had a state of the art climate control HVAC system. When I came out in the late spring the piano was considerably sharp and the windows of the house were open. She likes to open the windows whenever she can. 

   

  I think you may be technically correct, a properly "controlled" room is the best, I just never encounter such a room in the real world.

  I have a very firm opinion that whole room/house/institution humidity control is superior to a standard DC installation, or even a DC installation with bottom and string covers.

   

  Nuff said.
