Mark, I disagree. I do not believe that the addition of a Dampp-Chaser system would have the effect you wished for. What makes you believe that it would? It's hung under the soundboard, the strings are above, with only nose bolt holes to allow conditioned air to waft upwards.

Obliviously they would have benefited from a Damper-Chase system, and the piano really needs to be restrung; however, is there any way to remove some of the rust and extend the life of the current strings.
