[pianotech] Dampp chasers

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Rick,

I'm including this question to our fellow CAUT members for their input.

I only have 5 fully equipped pianos in our piano faculty pianos... (out of 
110).  Richard West used to have many more here, but since there was only 
one of him, (and only one of me now) he found that he spent far too much 
time watering the pianos. BTW the pianos still haven't grown :>).   He did 
install just DC de-humidifier bars with humidistats on most of the pianos 
for the nasty humid summers, though.  This does help a great deal, if I 
have time to check them weekly to make sure they're plugged in. In these 
days, all students have plug-in contraptions, so they unplug the buggers 
and I have to check practice rooms out every other day, just to check this 
out. 

Unless I gain as assistant to regularly check water levels, change pads, 
etc, I don't foresee doing any further installations.

Always, best to you

Paul

If you are asking us all, then mine is about 1%. But is this question 
relevant without knowing the local atmosphere?   --- Tom Gorley
