Statement Of Problem
  • Expansion & Contraction Of Wood


  • Wood Cells Forced Against Immoveable Objects


  • Keys, Action Centers, Cracks & Sound Board Separations


  • Effects Of Heat On Wood


6
Effects Of Heat On Wood
  • What is relative humidity?


  • “The amount of moisture in the air as compared with the maximum amount that the air could contain at the same temperature, expressed as a percentage.”


  • Coincidently, the more heat there is, the more moisture the air will hold.  At 85 degrees with 50% RH, there is twice as much moisture in the air as there is at 70 degrees and 50% RH.  Can we draw the conclusion that heat is not necessarily working in our favor?


  • Heat can draw moisture out of wood cells, thus, “aging” the wood in a sound board prematurely.

Music Sorb will provide these
    benefits for the piano owner



  • 1.   By maintaining a more constant RH, the wood in the piano won’t expand and contract as much so the piano will stay in tune longer.


  • By keeping RH low, the action parts will be less likely to get sluggish or bind up.


  • By keeping it more stable, the piano will last longer
