I am not familiar with the B. Steiner brand of piano.

Did you install a Dampp-Chaser brand climate control system?  Or was it 
another brand?  Did you install a dehumidifier only?  Or did you also 
install a humidistat to control the dehumidifier?  Or did you install a 
complete system with the dehumidifier, humidifier, humidistat, light panel, 
smart heater bar, and water fill system?

I would believe if the equipment was defective and was returned to 
Dampp-Chaser they would send you a new unit and not repair the defective 
unit.  On the other hand, I have never had any defective equipment made by 
Dampp-Chaser.

Is the equipment plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a 
switch?  Perhaps at night the owners of the piano turn off the switch 
controlling the outlet when they go to bed at night.  All night the 
humidity rises, and by morning the piano is sluggish and very heavy.  Then 
the owner of the piano turns on the switch to the outlet and the 
dehumidifier is working all day long lowering the humidity, and by the end 
of the day the touch of the piano feels much lighter.  This is a possible 
scenario to explain what is happening.
