Seems like the DC sets up an environment where the RH on one side of the board can be substantially different than on the other side. Wonder if this has any short or long-term consequences or does the wood absorb (or release) moisture evenly, regardless? Inquiring minds want to know.* Alan Barnard Salem, MO *Never kill a silent comedian: A mime is a terrible thing to waste. -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Cy Shuster Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 9:41 AM To: Pianotech Subject: Re: How weather affects pianos My son asked an interesting question: how does RH affect the tone of wood? We're all familiar with the effects of dimensional changes, but say you just had a wooden xylophone, where each piece of wood was unconstrained at all edges. Would the tone be different at 10%RH and 80%RH, and if so, how? --Cy Shuster-- Rochester, MN (soon to be Bluefield, WV) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 6:29 AM Subject: Re: How weather affects pianos > That's a shame, because a good DC installation can really benefit a piano that experiences RH extremes.
