Hi, If the piano has a full system with bottom cover and smart bar then having it run dry in the summer is not really much of a problem. I find that the single tank system will last about ten days when fully filled--and of course that's not counting the "reserve" capacity. You don't mention if the piano got new strings. How many tunings has it had in the last year? At 09:43 PM 3/14/2005 -0500, you wrote: > I service a Bosendorfer 6’4 that was rebuilt a couple of >years ago.
