Hi Terry:

Central Mortgage and Housing, a canadian Crown Corporation, recommends =
RH levels according to outside temperature. In a warm place like Fl, 72% =
shouldn't be too bad. At 10 degrees below zero, 30 is recommended. =
Dryness is a real problem during the long winter months of forced air =
heating in Canada. Without humidity control, you are open to colds, flu, =
bronchial problems - and cracked soundboards.=20

Case in point. A good friend down North, Northern BC that is, has a =
Hamilton, which I have been tuning about six years. The soundboard has a =
little buzz sometimes, not bad, that she can live with. I noticed =
electricity in the air, and asked her what her humidity level was. She =
didn't know. She had never heard of it. She has no humidifier in the =
furnace, and no auxiliary humidification. She is a single mother with =
children. I asked her if her family usually gets a lot of colds and =
bronchial problems during the winter. Yes!=20

Her humidity level is likely about at least 80%. No wonder the buzz in =
the piano. No wonder the chest colds and flu. Therefore it is obvious =
what she should do:  a new Damp-Chaser system!
