Bob Simmons, Regarding 2/5/96 as follows: One of my clients is considering taking their Knabe upright (60-70 yr old) to Germany with them. They'll be back in the states in 3 years. Moving the piano from Southern California (desert, so-called where humidity changes rapidly from 20-80%) to Germany (where I understand it is consistently more humid) doesn't strike me as too bad, but I'm wondering if any of you have seen any problems with pianos coming back from Gemany. they don't know what ppart of the states they will return to. Any warning bells I should sound for them? Bob Simmons, RPT CSU San Bernardino ****************************************************** My obvious answer would be to install a humidity control system. Use the 5PS-50 120V normally used in this country. Provide a transformer for use in Germany. It can be purchased from Allied Electronics at 800-433-5700 and is their part # 928-0302. It is made by Stancor and their model # is GSD-150. The specifications are 150UA Power rating or 1.25 amps at 115 volts. 230 volts in, 115 volts out 50/60 Hz. Its cost 3 years ago was $ 56.67.
