John, I spoke with the installer of a radiant heat system in one of my clients home from New England and if I'm not mistaken he said that the heat actually is more efficient at heating the objects in the room i.e. chairs, sofa, wall hangings, piano etc. I installed a Dampp Chaser on the Baby Grand and encountered no problem with stability. I was also pretty new at the trade then so I could've missed something. That was about ten years ago. David Chadwick ASSOC.
