DC behind fallboard!

[Alan]

I service a piano that belongs to the Army. It had previously resided in
Alabama and had a DC bar installed as you describe. I'm guessing that some
tech down there in the land of long steamy summers was coping with sticking
action parts, not tuning stability. I replaced it with a full DC install. I
didn't find any action problems but, then again, most institutional pianos
with DC's installed usually get permanently unplugged after awhile, anyway.
Or so it has been my experience.

Started servicing a church piano; Baldwin grand with 48-25A dehumidifier 
installed BEHIND fallboard and only 1/8" from jack toes.  No other DC or 
Humidistat to be found. I will be relocating the 48-25A to the underside of 
the piano, then adding another shorter DC and humidistat. Never saw this 
type of installation before; has anyone else? My opinion is that it is NOT a

good place to put it, especially without a humidistat...right?
