  Hi, Barbara,=20

  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. =20

  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!  =20

  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.  =20

    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?

        Hi all,

        Does anyone have a picture of, or could direct me to a picture =
of a Steinway D with a full DC system with undercover--preferably on a =
stage?   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."  =20
