The PIANO LIFE SAVER SYSTEM is made up of three basic components which work together to control the humidity levels within your piano, maintaining consistent relative humidity, no matter what the external conditions are.
Through a cycling action, the Humidistat is calibrated to create a separate environment within the piano, producing a narrow range of average humidity. When the Humidistat, located less than an inch from your soundboard, senses that the wood is dry, it turns the power on the Humidifier. Then, when the Humidifier has provided enough The PIANO LIFE SAVER SYSTEM comes with a watering system to allow you to keep the Humidifier supplied with water. Typically, you will need to add one gallon of water twice monthly. moisture to the soundboard, the Humidistat turns off the Humidifier and turns the power on the Dehumidifier. The Dehumidifier carries away moisture from the soundboard on 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.
The PIANO LIFE SAVER SYSTEM works automatically and silently inside your piano.
The System must be installed by a professional piano technician. Only a technician can be sure that each component is located for optimal effectiveness and protection.
Air conditioners turn on and off to maintain a desirable temperature. When this temperature is achieved, the unit turns off, no matter what humidity level is achieved. In addition, most whole-house air conditioners are unable to reduce the relative humidity lower than 60% which is outside the safe zone for pianos. Whole-House Humidifier Most furnace humidifiers have the same limitations as air conditioners: when the furnace has achieved the desired temperature, both the furnace and the humidifier turn off, no matter what humidity level is attained in individual rooms.
In environments with fluctuating humidity, Dampp-Chaser Humidity Control Systems efficiently help to preserve the extraordinary tonal quality and investment value of Bechstein pianos.

"Yamaha fully endorses the use of the system with Yamaha pianos in areas that are subject to extremes in humidity. Without such a system, it is very difficult to control the humidity around the piano."
"Since launching our piano technology school in 1986, I have taught thousands of students in over 70 countries about the Piano Life Saver System’s benefits. “I have installed over 500 systems in my clients pianos, and recommend them for both new and older pianos. I always install complete systems with the Smart Bracket." —Randy Potter, RPT
"The Ciresa soundboards, installed in the most famous pianos, are considered the best in the world for their quality and for their acoustic properties. The Ciresa Co. confirms that the Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver System contributes to the maintenance of the ideal moisture conditions of the piano. The achievement of the wood stability avoids damages, warpings and cracks of the soundboard, which is the weakest component (few millimetres thickness) of the wooden frame of the instrument."
