Disklavier

Absolutely, because it is Louisiana, have the dehumidifier bars and 
humidistat installed underneath the piano.  It will probably take 2 or 3 
smaller rods placed around the electronics to protect the soundboard.

Also, the tech was correct, if the humidity was 75%, that you may also need 
additional room dehumidification.  The idea is to maintain a CONSTANT 
moisture content as close to 55%RH as possible.  You need both a Dampp 
Chaser and a room machine.
