Hygrometer

[Farrell]

This is the first I have heard that Yamaha makes pianos for three "climate halls". Is that a for-sure-fact? I can easily understand the desert climate and the tropical, but it seems hard to design a drying process that meets the requirements for Minnesota where you have 90% RH in the summer, and 2% in the winter. I guess you just aim for the half-way point?
