---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, Barbara, My experience with buckets tight up to the soundboard is that the board discolors, mold develops, and condensation causes hardwood floors to betray water overhead.....Don't ask me how I know...but shortly after that nasty experience several years ago Damppchaser extended the hanger length considerably. A cover under the piano will certainly affect the reflection of sound...but there are probably folks on the list who could tell you how much, in their own experience....I'm interested too! Just to go with my "cart" idea again....the cart can be kept under the piano on stage, and removed just for performances, of course.... OR....the piano can be equipped with heater bars and humidistat, and the cart only with humidifiers, and used as much as possible.

Hmm....my goal was a system that could always be plugged in (there are a lot of outlets on that black stage floor), to avoid the syndrome of nice-atmosphere-while-in-storage and then all heck breaks out when it's moved on stage. You know what I mean?

I have submitted a proposal for the DC system, but a friend pointed out to me, that sometimes, because the humidifier buckets hang down a bit, the piano looks.........pregnant. I doubt my technical director would be happy with such a look and would like him to see it before hand. Thanks much. Barbara Richmond, RPT Barbara, If you could forego the undercover, you could modify the Jahn stands which Dampp-chaser is experimenting with. They are single system carts with a leg on each corner, and need to be combined into a dual system stand which straddles the truck; I did this during the summer, and will be sending Roger Wheelock the modification drawings when I "get it together."
