A more or less constant humidity level is good for your piano. If you can keep the piano within a few degrees of change, it will be much happier. Extreme changes, especially if repeated numerous times can be dangerous. "Pianos like everything to be the same all the time," says Robert Callaghan, a former technician at Sweeney Piano, now the resident technician at the University of Nevada, Reno. It's not so much the difference between high humidity and low humidity, but "the changing back and forth that [pianos] don't like." Mr. Callaghan also mentioned those who claim that extreme humidity fluctuations contribute to damaged, cracking soundboards.
The piano repair work that we do in our shop is sometimes due to damage caused by a history of extreme humidity fluctuations. When we deliver your refinished piano, we will alert you to any humidity concerns we might detect.
The average humidity of Chicago, Illinois and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania are almost the same. According to cityrating.com, the average morning humidity in Chicago is 80%. According to the same web site, the average morning humidity in Philadelphia, PA is 76%.
