This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Ryan and list, I wanted to try to answer these good questions about the Dampp-Chaser system. >Somebody posted that with the back cloth they reduce humidity related pitch changes to 1 cent. That sounds very impressive. I wonder why Dampp-chaser doesn't include it with their regular systems if it makes such a difference. The goal is to keep the technician cost as low as possible while making the system complete. >I'm still curious if anyone has installed a front AND back system in the same piano. DC at one time came out with the Ultimate system, which had the tank inside and dehumidifiers on the outside, with a cover. It was more expensive, took longer to install, but worked extremely well. They continued their lab testing and development until they were able to achieve the same results with improved humidistats and the backside (or under) cover. This gave the technician the best price with best results. The cover is most important in cases of air flow. Uprights with their backs to the wall don't generally need this kind of treatment if sufficient wattage is used. >Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter On an unrelated topic - I was surprised to see that Guy Nichols has bought SAMA and want to wish him well in this venture. As a business owner, I feel it's not only courteous but necessary to deal first directly with the business if there is a problem, not take it public. But any company or dealership deserves a chance to fix something. If they don't respond, then go to the next step. Tact is extremely important when we are in the position of between customer and store. In the past, Webb helped out answering finish questions and supplying some finish materials, and we're both glad to hear the outcome is good.
