glue on bridge pins.

[Don]

Hi Eric,

I have seen bridge pins glued. It lasts for a while. But if humidity
continues to cycle--then the while is shorter.

Tonal impact over all in my climate (4% to 84%) is quite dramatically in
favor of the DamppChaser units. It takes about a year for the unit to
really stabilize the soundboard, with a bottom cover in use. The bottom
cover is a form of speaker cloth so there is little loss of power from it.
I'd love to see an adjustable controller so a person could dial in a higher
level of humidity for tonal reasons.
