<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [CAUT] Damp chaser table</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hey, Jim, I’m a real believer in Dampp-Chasers, but I would be rather doubtful = of attaining very much success with this apparatus, given that the harpsi is= enclosed.  This would seem to be a situation where humidity control fo= r the entire room is called for.

The professor teaches many harpsichord= students and needs the beast to stay in tune. Quite frankly, I’m not = fond of tuning it so often. I suggested a room humidifier, (or even a large = aquarium…) but we opted to try this.   Anyone ideas would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Jim Busby BYU <HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE="3" WIDTH="95%">_______________________________________________ caut list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives">http://w= ww.ptg.org/mailman/listinfo/caut</a> </BLOCKQUOTE><SPA= N STYLE='font-size:12.0px'> </BODY> </HTML>
