Can you be absolutely certain as to the temperature of the room throughout the winter? If the answer is no, there is your next pickle. Can you be sure someone is filling the tank regularly? I have one- count 'em- *one* customer out of the 1200 I tune for yearly who has a Damp Chaser system. Its installed in a Steinway L and it works just fine. However, It is in his house and he fills the tank, keeps the temp comfortable, etc. I tune it yearly and it requires very little work. In your case, I think there's just too many variables out of your control. Good luck. Eric Leatha tunrboy@aol.com
