Hi, I installed a damp chaser system (humidify/dehumidify) on a brand new Baldwin R for a customer a few months back. Yesterday I was there to do the first tuning since I installed it and was very suprised to see the soundboard raising in a couple of places. They are not compression ridges, yet, but the soundboard has a definate hump running along the grain. The humidity here is low in the winter, it was 35% yesterday. I hung my digital hygrometer as close to the soundboard as possible and will be checking it often but I am afraid of what may be going on here. I don't want to be responsible for trashing this board, she wanted to protect the soundboard and now this. What could be happening? chris -Christopher D. Purdy R.P.T.
