Upstate SC summers push indoor humidity above 70%. Winter heating drops it below 25%. That 45-point seasonal swing — repeated every year — is one of the most damaging forces a piano will face in its lifetime.
The SC Piano Humidity Guide is a 6-page deep-dive from Davis L. Moore, CPT — a Certified Piano Life Saver Installer based in Greenwood — covering:
Why humidity is the #1 threat — what it does to your soundboard, pinblock, bridges, strings, and action
A season-by-season breakdown — what's happening inside your piano in spring, summer, fall, and winter
The 38–45% target — an RH reference table from dangerous-dry to dangerous-humid
The Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver — how it works, what it protects, and what it costs
If you don't have a system yet — interim measures that reduce damage while you plan
FAQ — answered by a technician who sees humidity damage every week
Specific to South Carolina's climate. Written by a CPT who lives and works here.
Instant download. Installation available from $700.
