There is one small frustration, however, in that some pianos don't seem to benefit as dramatically, for whatever reasons. But for many, it can be just amazing. Alan Barnard Salem, Missouri ----- Original Message ----- From: Wayne Walker To: pianotech@ptg.org Sent: 08/29/2005 12:26:32 PM Subject: Benefits of a Dampp-Chaser System For the last 20 years we have been renting an upright piano for a choral camp. The piano is located in an open stage area. Open to the elements. Temperatures from 49 F at night to 85F to 90F day time and high humidity 80%+. The camp runs the full month of August and the piano is require to be tuned each Saturday morning before 8 AM plus 1 hour drive each way. When I tune the piano I'm lowering the pitch a good 1/4 semitone each week. Last year and this year I decided to used a piano with a Dampp-Chaser system installed. We just brought the piano back today. The piano hasn't been tuned since it left the shop. The piano was only 1.2 cents flat. This has save me many early Saturday mornings over the last 2 years.
