This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi David, =20 The room is about 18x20 with very high ceilings. (Organ pipes and all). The HVAC is old and nuts.=20 =20 I don't really believe the DC will work either, but if we give it a try and it doesn't maybe they will go for the room humidifier. The reason they didn't already is cost. Smaller units seemed to be too labor intensive (fill daily). =20 Usually harpsichordists tune their own instruments, but here it's always been the piano tech's job. The professor is a wonderful man willing let the tuning go a bit, but I know there is a way to solve this or make it better. =20 Jim Busby BYU =20 -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of David Skolnik Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 3:49 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Damp chaser table =20 Jim - Just curious...what are the dimensions of the organ room (l x w x h)? What are the climate control characteristics? Why was a room unit vetoed? Just from a theoretical point of view, I can't see how the dampchaser will work in this application.

It comes from Dampchaser) Has anyone done this? It seems to be the only way to installa dampchaser without being invasive. =20 Also, this harpsichord is closed in on the bottom, unlike the others we have. IOW, the soundboard isnt seen from the bottom, but is enclosed with a wood panel being on the very bottom. Will this work w/o being next to the actual soundboard? =20 FYI, the room its in is a large organ room and the RH changes so much that the harpsichords pitch varies on any given day by 0 -15 cents. Hence the need for humidity control. The professor teaches many harpsichord students and needs the beast to stay in tune. Quite frankly, Im not fond of tuning it so often. I suggested a room humidifier, (or even a large aquarium&) but we opted to try this. =20 Anyone ideas would be greatly appreciated.=20 =20 Thanks, Jim Busby BYU _______________________________________________ caut list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
