What kind of harpsichord? =20 Ed S. =20 =20 ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Jim Busby <mailto:jim_busby@byu.edu> =20 To: caut@ptg.org Sent: 11/23/2004 5:02:49 PM=20 Subject: [CAUT] Damp chaser table =20 =20 List, =20 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. =20 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? =20 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. =20 Anyone ideas would be greatly appreciated.=20 =20 Thanks, Jim Busby BYU ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
