Point to Point Changes
This data was captured in coincidence with the data on the first graph. The full rod systems tout a narrower change band centered around 42% +/-3
This data shows the changes inside the piano with Music Sorb.  The graph shows how smooth and small the changes are with this Chemical control.
Again the MAX-MIN range tells a more complete story.  The range for the entire year is just about half of the changes in the room
The point to point (morning – evening) data show even better results with less than a 1% change in the day.
Humidity control, I stress CONTROL vs. just heater rods, does buffer and smooth the changes the piano will undergo. There still is change. Regular tunings are still needed.
The smaller smoother changes will assist is instrument stability and smaller deviation from the last tuning related to relative humidity.
Some humidity control is a good thing.
