Steinway 45 upright

[Otto Keyes]

At Banff I rigged up some damp chaser systems on small carts which could be
rolled under the concert grands.  Perhaps not as effective as an "in-piano"
system, but with a long skirt on the cover (could be attached with velcro
strips) it provided some control.  These were easy to cobble together (1x4
frame on casters), and I think it would be worth a shot.  When not on stage,
the pianos went in their "box" backstage & the carts went in with them.
Don't know if those are still in use since the new music building went in a
few years back, but they were reasonably effective at the time.
