White Damppchaser pads

[Don]

Hi John,

I train my clients to change and clean the pads, clean the humidifier, and
drain the water every six months. Regina used to be a "test bed" for water
heaters in the 1950's as our water is very "hard". That's why I suggest
exchanging pads every three months.

As a side benefit I have many pianos that drift no more than two cents on
any note. Nice to do concert level tuning work in homes on a "once a year"
basis.
