When I think about the benefits of a DC installation, I think about =
tuning stability in the short term, and string corrosion, glue joint, =
soundboard panel, bridge cap longevity in the long term. I would imagine =
putting a heater bar in a piano that has a sluggish action and is in a =
very humid environment might help free the action - but I have never =
sold a DC unit to solve such a problem.=20

Tuning stability in the short term, and piano longevity in the long =
term. IMHO

Also, Ken, do the installations you have seen include a properly =
installed humidistat? And what neck of the woods do you hail from?

Hi Terry!=20
I'm in BC, British Columbia. The climate is rather moderate. Over the =
years, I have seen many DC's installed. The newer ones have the =
humidistat, and the customer is very proud of the set-up. Of course I am =
not going to say anything to disturb their peace. Many older ones are =
disconnected and not in use, because frankly, in this climate - in this =
climate I don't think they are necessary.=20

Many people ask me my opinion, and I say, frankly, 'I don't believe in =
them.' Now if I lived in Ft Lauderdale or Darwin, I see I am persuaded =
otherwise. Thanks, list.  Obviously this is a somewhat ticklish subject, =
for there has been much response and controversy, everyone seemingly =
seeking Steinway's benediction. In any case, I feel much better having =
brought it out in the open.
