Like you, Tom and David, I've tried to avoid those blasted contraptions,
advising my clients to use room humidifiers etc. But now Dammpp-Chaser has
started marketing directly to piano owners - complete with dealer
endorsements. So several of my clients have been clamoring for this
wonderful thing that'll keep their piano from going out of tune - and I'm
having one hell of a time trying to explain the downside... Just
installed them in three Steinway grands belonging to techers out of fear
of losing their business... Seems that filling up a humidifier every
couple of days is just too much trouble for them. Any ideas?
