Can anyone give me an idea of the normal moisture content of a soundboard? The current conditions are Northeast Ohio older home but fairly well insulated. The heating system adds moisture to the room via an April air type unit in the forced hot air furnace. The piano is a roughly 10 year old Petrof. The weather lately is normal spring type weather for this region i.e. 35-55 ish degrees with off and on rain. The customer used a pin type moisture meter on his own soundboard and reported a 21% reading. Have any of you taken readings directly on the board with either a pin type or a pin-less type meter ad compared them to the Hygrometer reading some of us normally take? Would it be useful information to obtain these readings? If you were buying one for the main purpose of measuring boards would you buy pin type or pin-less? Why? Thanks in advance for your inut.
