FW: Mobile Dampp-Chaser System

[Roger Wheelock]

Hello all,

I had tried to post this to the list in March but it seemed to have
failed.  As a courtesy to Jan Enzenauer, I am trying again.

Thanks,

Roger

Dear Roger Wheelock,

thank you for your email. I would like to tell you a little bit about
private clients in Germany. There are clients, who don't like any
additional screws in their grand. So they prefer the stand. In my
experience it is from clients point of view a welcome possibility to
save their grand without touching it.

Sincerley
