For what it\u2019s worth, I have had a Dampp-Chaser on my Disklavier for over 3 years and have not had a single problem with it or the piano.

Subject: [disklavier] DS6MK4PRO on the way
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?
