Improving a Dampp Chaser system

[Bob Hull]

Concerning the improvement of the Dampp-Chaser system:

Thanks for the input.  Tom, you commented about the
effect that your string covers had on the sound and if
I read you right there was no muting or sound decrease
with the lid up and string covers on, is that right?

Why wouldn't keeping the lid closed and using a piano
cover  do just as well, if not better?  Especially if
you have a Dampp Chaser and an undercover?
