DC System & Player Piano

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

Then the best idea is to mount the de-humidifier bars to the posts, perhaps 
on each side low, and put the hygrometer in the middle about 
mid-hight.  The cover the whole thing with a back-cover.  DC might have a 
better layout system.

Tell us what you end up with.
