Can a Room Humidifier Save Your Piano?
I prefer room humidifiers where possible over internal systems, especially in extreme low humidity environments.
Many customers ask me if they need to spend hundreds of dollars on internal piano humidifiers. My answer is often no. A high-quality, whole-room evaporative humidifier is often a much better investment. Why? Because what is good for the piano is good for you, your hardwood floors, and your furniture.
Keeping your living room at a stable 40-45% relative humidity throughout the winter is the absolute best way to preserve the pinblock and soundboard of used pianos in Toronto. It keeps the tuning stable and prevents the wood from drying out and cracking over the decades.
