Humidity Control for Pianos

The Piano Life Saver system is an internal humidity control system that is engineered to protect what is arguably the world’s most complex musical instrument: the piano.

Effects Of Relative Humidity

Moist Conditions

As the soundboard absorbs moisture from the air, it swells, producing an upward bulge. Through the bridge, this puts additional tension on the strings, causing a pitch too high (sharp) in the lower mid-range and extreme treble strings.

Dry Conditions

When the soundboard shrinks and flattens, the tension of strings over the bridge becomes inadequate. The pitch of the mid- range and treble strings is now flat.

How It Works

At its most elemental, the Piano Life Saver continuously monitors the humidity inside your piano and gently dries or humidifies to maintain a stable environment.

Humidistat

Constantly monitors relative humidity and senses whether the surrounding air is too dry or too damp.

Dehumidifier

When the humidity level is too high, the dehumidifier warms the damp air to lower moisture levels.

Humidifer - Generally Not needed in Florida

When there is not adequate moisture, the humidifier supplies moisture.

Light Panel

Indicates that the system is on and functioning properly, requires water or needs new pads.
