Piano Forte to Piano – Part 4

This is where Music Sorb comes into the picture.  Music Sorb absorbs and releases moisture as the humidity changes.  It acts like a shock absorber to the humidity fluctuations.  Music Sorb is based on synthetic silica gel with a simple chemical switch which changes it from adsorbing to desorbing.  So, with Music Sorb in the piano, acting as an adsorber/desorber of moisture, there are less extremes, less flexibility, and the instrument is less subject to expansion/contraction and the piano stays more stable.

This means the tuning will be more stable and more enjoyable for a longer period of time.
