I researched this last year rather extensively. As long as the humidifer tray(s) is/are "isolated" from the electronics you should be good to go.

No one had any horror stories. I look forward to hearing the dialogue. Henry Nicolaides Piano Technician, School of Music Southern Illinois University 1000 S.
