/\/\ounting a heater bar

[Dean May]

Just hang it a foot below the key bed with a couple of pieces of picture
wire. I've seen lots of older installations done like this and they have
worked fine for years.

Greetings,

 

        I went to a church the other day that had a Baldwin Hamilton Studio
upright. It had a heater bar just (and I am not joking here)_ just thrown
into the bottom of the piano-not mounted on anything, just loose and setting
on the pedal trapwork!..and plugged in! I was asked to mount it.  It is not
spring loaded so it can be fit in. 

 

 Can a heater bar be mounted with 2 simple sheeet metal strips about an inch
wide,  bent into a loop and the tab of the loop screwed into the back of the
key bed? Will metal mounting loops of any kind interfere with the heat or
function of the thing?

What Is the best way to mount a heater bar?  

 

Thanks
