deep thoughts: DAMP CHASER

Wayne,
         A Damp-Chaser won't do a thing to loose tuning pins in any grand. 
The unit can only control the soundboard bridge area. Check on the web site 
and you should be able to find a diagram of how there mounted and that 
should be worth a thousand words or so. A properly mounted unit can and has 
helped tuning pin tightness in an upright installation but never, that I'm 
aware of, in a grand.
