Disklavier

Hi everyone

Ive been lurking here for around a month in preparation for buying my 
first Disklavier and I thank everyone for their contributions to this 
wonderful group.  I recently was fortunate to have found a 
spectacular DS6MK4PRO for a bargain and she is on her way to my home 
in Louisiana.

The piano is coming from California where it was meticulously 
maintained in a 45% humidity environment.  My livingroom hygrometer 
has been reading 55-65% humidity the last month exect when Ike and 
Gustav bumped it to 75%.  When I mentioned using a Dampp Chaser to my 
piano tech, this was her response:

     "We do not recommend installing DamppChaser units on Disklavier 
Grands, there are complications with the Disklavier unit power supply 
that affect the performance. We do recommend controlling the humidity 
in the music room instead. You can purchase a room unit from your 
local HVAC contractor."

When I did a search of this topic, there were differing opinions.  
Also, if I remember correctly, I believe in my phone conversation 
with Bill Brandom last month he said there was no problem as long as 
the humidifier part of the system with water was not used. 

By the way, the room I am putting this piano in is 20 x 40 ft. I dont 
want to have to put an ugly dehumidifier unit in there if I dont have 
to.

Anyone care to comment?
