What are the extremes of the relative humidity swings?
What kind of harpsichord?

	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
