Hi Ric and all, Well, I showed these pictures to our head piano professor who immediately informed the Director of Music here. He has been petitioning the powers that be, but I think this evidence has put a fire under his rear end. Let's hope I don't need to call hasmat! Meanwhile, I'll try at least to put in a DC. It has a pretty long, thick cover. Anything will help if even only a small bit.... There won't be any complaints about cords hanging about, but I will have to train people to leave it plugged in. When I have breaking news, I'll let you know....film at 11 Paul RicB <ricb at pianostemmer.no> Sent by: caut-bounces at ptg.org 11/28/2006 12:19 PM Please respond to College and University Technicians <caut at ptg.org> To caut at ptg.org cc Subject [CAUT] Relative Humidity I agree Jim. Like I said at the outset. There is no way a DC system is going to help significantly given these kinds of conditions. For crimminy sakes... theres a storm front in the room ! The pics are amazing. Really, this should be shown to health, fire and safety officials. Thats one heck of a lot of amperes buzzing away up there in that wet fog.... no way that can be safe. What kind of yahoo in charge doesnt see the major type mismalfunctionary problem and order a fix ? This goes way beyond whats good for the pianos me thinks. Cheers RicB I saw the data logger charts and the pictures. Conditions like that are unacceptable, and sometimes you just have to say so. Whether the HVAC system is old or new, if the relative humidity makes wild rapid swings and sometimes there is fog and condensate in the room, something is badly wrong and needs to be fixed. What is it doing now that cold weather is on the way? I wish you well in getting the point across to the right people.
