Dampp-Chasers & Dryness

Hi Willem.   Ozone with the curious mind

> 1. How big is Alice Springs, How many residents.
How big ? In area not big as all the warter is artesian from bores that are
very deep and it is also nestled between the Mc donald ranges which
restricts growth. Population 27,000
> 2. How many pianos in town?
I have 240 customers but believe there are about 400
> 3. Are you the only tuner who goes there, and how often do you go?
No, another tuner goes there from South Australia and there is a sort of
resident tuner in Alice I go to Alice about 4 times per year. Generally try
to time these visits with major piano related functions.  Alice Springs is
1,500 kilo south of Darwin (home) and about the same north from Adelaide.

Not an experiment in that I know it will work. Experiment in that I do not
know how well it will work.  Have already installed about 6 complete systems
in town to piano teachers and such like but have not pushed the product very
much as generally I am overworked and no time
