Whole house humidifier. Keeps my heating bills lower and
the piano in tune longer, too (I haven't had to install a
piano humidifier thing, but I do touch up the unisons myself
occasionally).

The instrument is wooden and about 5 years old now. Hasn't
cracked yet (and we do have some extremes in temp. here in
the Detroit area).
