Rumor has it that a de-humidifier on a piano
means less maintenance is needed. On the contrary,
you may end up rebuilding sooner because of
dryness in the felts and cracking wood structure.
Unless you live in extreme NW (like a rainy
Washington State or Oregon), or along the shoreline
of a gulf or ocean coast, pianos do wonderfully without
a de-humidifier. Any home with a central air system
maintains a relatively dry climate.
ANY piano, ANY environment, under ANY conditions,
should be tuned on a regular basis. The schedule is
determined by how frequently the piano is used,
but never less than every 12-18 months.
