Why After Two Years.....

[Gregor _]

Yes, it´s the Hydrocel system. Cheap, simple and works well. The tuning lasts longer and the pins get tighter. The customers fill it with water in winter (i.e. heating period) and ignore it in the summer. In summer it soaks humidity if the air is wet and gives it free when it´s getting dry. I think it´s a good alternative to Damp Chaser, but it might be too weak for very dry regions. Can´t say that because  it´s not so extreme dry in my area. Anyway: it´s better than nothing.

Is that tube the "Hydroceel" system?? I just learned of that system via my runner map site, from a guy in the Netherlands. How synchronicity...

I use these tubes for climate controll and can say that they work very well. They help very much in the dry heating period. But I am based in Europe and our climate here is comparatively constant. No heavy winter and no heatwaves in summer (anymore, thanks to climate change).

It does seem to have a climate control 
device.

  .... did this piano not need tuning 
  (Okay, I only had to tweak 4 strings) when all other pianos at this time of 
  year are howling from the extreme humidity 
  conditions? There is no 
  climate control involved. Is it anything to do with it being Ron Overs' 
  favourite Steinway, or Ric B's theory of cracked soundboard not responding to 
  weather syndrome?
