Moisture and dryness ( not hot & cold ) affect the stability of a piano the most. A piano is made of roughly eighty percent wood, and wood is very susceptible to changes in humidity. Too much moisture, the piano expands, stretching the strings and raising the pitch. Too dry, the opposite occurs, and the piano loses pitch.

These systems will stabilize your instrument, extend the life of each tuning, and protect your piano from long term damage such as a cracked soundboard or damaged pin block.
