The main causes are yourself and nature. Because the summer hot and often humid, the wood will expand and increase the pressure on the soundboard strings. And because aeg fridges in the winter cold, the heating in most areas goes on. As a result, air dried, because warm air can hold more moisture than cold after all, is the law of physics. In summer, so by increasing the tension on the strings the pitch up, in the winter, by reducing the pitch of the voltage goes down. A well-known data, in particular by players of stringed instruments. Rule of thumb
You can assume that bisects the relative humidity every 11-12C temperature rise. So if it is outside and the inside 8C is around 20C, making it the humidity inside halved. (Relative to outside) A practical example: If a customer with a good outdoor thermo-hygrometer and gave it 97% to 2C. Inside it was 18C and 33%. The newly restored soundboard of his wing had seven (!) New cracks. What to do if it is too dry
Try to keep the relative humidity between 45% and 55% If it is dry - especially during a (night) frost - you must ensure humidifying the air. This is best done with an air washer and humidifier that emits no smoke or steam. Because these humidify the whole room not just the piano, but also the public prosecutor, the benefits of these boxes, and not least yourself. It is advisable to pay attention to this silent humidifiers with low power consumption and preferably without filters. (Often sold under the name "air scrubber), please observe the maintenance because the humidifier still 24 hours a day in state during the heating aeg fridges period, almost half of the year.
Most ideal for your piano or grand piano is the Piano Life Saver System from Dampp Chaser. This is an automated aeg fridges system that is installed in your instrument. It makes using a heating pipe and a humidifier (which are automatically switched) that the humidity aeg fridges remains constant in your piano or under your wing. The price, including installation, is 690, - for a piano, 640, - for a wing to 180cm and 735, - for a wing bigger than 180cm. Alternatives in the (dry) winter
Bottles with water and / or a hydroceel unit during this period also help. But usually the fill and remove password. As a result, this means in practice is often worse than the disease. We also see sometimes towels on the heaters, drying racks with wet clothes in the room and a large pot of water on the stove. Not only does this manner of wetting for a fluctuating, irregular humidity level in the space. If you consider that about vaporized in an average living room between seven and fourteen gallons of water per day, you can imagine what I think extent these alternatives should take a good result. But remains, something is always better than nothing. Beware:
If you go "skies, with frost you get more dry air in the room. Also drafts and poor insulation can make things worse because you inside gets dry air. When heating the dry air is she even drier. Once there is talk of a Elfstedentocht is extra vigilance. then we have a period of severe frost behind us and there is still a period prince to arrive. You must be extra careful and take care of a lot of moisture.
