Re: [disklavier] Moving DS2A from Texas to Arizona

2008-07-24 by Carol Beigel

I don't like to mix water and electronics, so I never install a humidifier 
tank under a grand piano model Disklavier - in spite of what the 
manufacturer recommends!  Wait until you have a problem as dryness will not 
do lasting damage.  Signs to look for are buzzes and rattles, and the piano 
always going flat.  Like Spencer, I would recommend a whole house humidifier 
solution should one be necessary.  Your sinuses can be your guide.

I would expect the piano to dry out in the first year in Arizona.  Make sure 
your new piano tech tightens all the cabinet and action screws in 6 months, 
then check them again in one year.
