Hi Don,
I'm not sure what you mean by a "we back" thermostat.

Hi Jeannie,

If the instability is happening at the bass break then I would suggest
adding a back cover made from 6 mil poly to the instrument.

Check to see if the client uses a "set back" thermostat in the home. They
can be dynamite on stability.
