The Dampp-Chaser Climate Control Systems is made up of three basic components which work together to control the humidity levels whitin your piano, maintaining the recommended average 42% relative humidity, no matter what the external conditions are.

Dampp-Chaser components

Humidistat - this is the brain of the system, which senses whether your piano is too moist or too dry.

Dehumidifier - carries moisture away from your piano using warm air currents when humidity levels rise.

Humidifier - moisturizes the dry wood of your piano when the humidity drops below 42%.

components cycleThese components cycle together to maintain the wood of your piano at 42% relative humidity. When the Humidistat senses that the wood is dry, it turns the Humidifier on. Then, when the Humidifier has provided enough moisture to the soundboard, the Humidistat turns off the Humidifier and turns the Dehumidifier on. The Dehumidifier carries away moisture from the soundboard on warm air currents until the Humidistat again senses that the soundboard is dry. The system again switches to the humidifying function. The cycle continues day after day, year after year, protecting your piano from external conditions.
