Hey, Jim,

I'm a real believer in Dampp-Chasers, but I would be rather doubtful of
attaining very much success with this apparatus, given that the harpsi
is enclosed.  This would seem to be a situation where humidity control
for the entire room is called for.

We're installing a dampchaser on a new table that slides under a
harpsichord. (A photo is attached of the unit. It comes from Dampchaser)
Has anyone done this? It seems to be the only way to "install" a
dampchaser without being invasive.

Also, this harpsichord is closed in on the bottom, unlike the others we
have. IOW, the soundboard isn't seen from the bottom, but is enclosed
with a wood panel being on the very bottom. Will this work w/o being
next to the actual soundboard?

FYI, the room it's in is a large organ room and the RH changes so much
that the harpsichord's pitch varies on any given day by 0 -15 cents.
Hence the need for humidity control. The professor teaches many
harpsichord students and needs the beast to stay in tune. Quite frankly,
I'm not fond of tuning it so often. I suggested a room humidifier, (or
even a large aquarium...) but we opted to try this.

Anyone ideas would be greatly appreciated.=20
