Hi Jim, Unfortunately the "buffer zones" are necessary on both ends here. We go from 4% to 84% every year. I think Damppchasers with back/bottom covers are the cheapest possible way to get the kind of tuning stability that Wim is hoping for. They do have to be serviced with water/power but the greatest expense is someone to be the "water boy". At 09:56 PM 4/24/2003 -0400, you wrote: >Wim, Don, Chris: >Don Rose is right.
