Right you are, Terry. Sometimes we just see what we want to see, or expect to see.
Anyway, it becomes that much simpler, as the dehumidifying rods come in different sizes. So 3 18" rods can be distributed around, and connected to the humidistat.
Might even fit in front. But could easily be fitted in the back, with a back cover.

  Yes, but as I originally stated, I am installing a DC dehumidification system - no tank!

    Several have suggested the back-of-piano approach. Please note what I said here in my earlier post. I measured the back of one of these pianos and it is not deep enough for those tanks.

      I have the exact problem, also in an Aeolian "Duo-Art" (gimme a break!) piano. I could sell a DC in a heartbeat but there is no way to install it. The back posts aren't deep enough for an in-the-back install. I think you could use one of the back-install tanks inside the piano at the very bottom right, placed front to back. I've called and written DC about this and they didn't get back to me. If Schaff or someone can get the components as separate items, I'd sure like to try it.  Lemme know what you learn.

        I have a client that wants a DC dehumidification system installed in their piano. It is one of those nasty Aeolian console players (Standard) from the 70s or so. The bottom area behind the knee board is just jam-packed with player stuff. Not much room for a rod and humidistat. And then I would be concerned about putting a rod to close to a heat-sensitive player component.

        Anyone know anything about such an installation - like yes or no - where to put the DC components, etc.? Thanks.
