humidistat

[Roger Wheelock]

Hi David,

I use this unit in one of our test rooms at the factory.  (I need to control
the test room at various extremes of relative humidity.)  The dial readings
are not particularly accurate so a good hygrometer is needed for
calibration.  I think it would work fine in the shop but not for a piano.
Years ago we decided not to build a dial-up unit.  We think a piano owner
might adjust the dial and then either over dry or over humidify the piano.
Our fear is that the piano owner would then file a claim against us for the
damage.  Maybe we are a bit paranoid, but we pride ourselves on never having
an insurable product liability claim in the 57-year history of the company.

Conversely, we have thought about selling our humidistat into the greenhouse
market.  If I remember correctly that Greenair product is kind of expensive.
