Hi List,

We have a technician who recommended our product to a customer with a dried 
pinblock and doped tuning pins.  He thought that the System would cure this 
situation.  He installed a Back Side Vertical System and has obtained good pitch 
stability but not the affect he had hoped for on the pinblock.  He is not on 
the internet so he asked me to post this to see if any of you had any 
suggestions.  Thank you in advance for any help.

While the Dampchaser system maintains stability in the soundboard, it has 
virtually no effects on the pin block, especially on pin blocks in vertical 
pianos. This is because the pin block is enclosed, and the moisture from the system 
doesn't get up in that area of the piano. If the pin dope has not tightened 
the pins enough, I'm afraid the installation of the damp chaser system is not 
going to do the job.
