Disklavier

Since this is an upright piano you are in luck.  The complete Dampp Chaser system can be installed on the back of the piano and not inside.  The humidifier tanks are nowhere near the electronics.  A cover can also be installed over the entire back of the piano.  My personal recommendation to protect your own health as well as any woodwork in your house is to crank up the whole-house system.  20% RH is way too low.  Try for at least 50% RH.
