Hi,

About 15 to 20 years ago, Dampp Chaser sold 8 & 15 Watt rods, and they =
came
with screw spacers that held the rod above the keys just above the =
balance
rail mortices. I had fitted a few of these to pianos that kept on having
centre pin problems. Even after recentering the wippens and hammers, =
they
would begin to stick within 6 months. With each of these rods, I also
installed a humidistat that kept the rod from cooking the plank. These
pianos are still going ok and=20

Hi Terry,

At one time I believe there was an 8 watt 48" rod.

No it is not a good place for it.

I would use a 50 watt at the belly with humidistat and tail bar, and =
save
the 25 watt for an upright.
