I've seen those things kill pianos outright in a year. The current (sorry) PianoDisc power supply seems to have a much lower BTU output rating, and I haven't seen a big problem with them, but I can't help but think that a localized heat source like this isn't good for a soundboard. I'd like to see a fan that blows down, and out, and runs continuously. Just my under informed opinion. Ron
