Dampp-Chaser

Purchasing a piano is a very special experience, the creation of a legacy and a unique and important investment - one that should be protected and made to last a lifetime. Like all things made out of natural parts however, and particularly many wooden components, pianos can be vulnerable to the elements, and while many piano manufacturers season their woods for specific countries' climates (with Yamaha doing a particularly fine job of this) even the finest pianos can struggle in the highly varied climates of Australia. 

Extremities or recurring fluctuations in humidity can cause serious issues in a piano, such as cracks in the soundboard and ribs, rusting and snapping of strings, or loose tuning pins and failed pinblocks. Dampp-Chaser PLSS is a revolutionary yet simple product, designed to prevent such damages occurring by maintaining a consistent level of humidity inside the piano (upright or grand).

In addition to providing an efficient and cost effective preventative solution to such long term problems, by stabilising humidity Dampp-Chaser also produces benefits that are easily discernible during your everyday playing, such as significantly improved tuning stability, reduced key bushing and centre pin problems, and all round better and more consistent motion in the piano’s action.
