JStewart (a first name would be nice), A piano equipped with an uncontrolled heat rod could be worse off than having no humidity control at all, depending on the humidity of the Houston area. At the very least it should have a humidistat to shut it off when it gets dry enough. These are available from Dampp-Chaser. All of us were beginners at one time. Hang around this list, go to conventions and you'll learn a lot! Regards, Clyde Hollinger jstuart1 wrote: > I believe this piano has just the heating rod.
