Humidity Control
The most important factor to ensure tuning stability and to make sure that your piano is protected for the long haul, is to do something to stabilize the humidty in and around your piano.
​
The ideal humidity setting for a piano is 42%. This can be best acheived by having a humidity control system, which is specially designed for pianos, installed on your piano.
