And the easiest path is air ... from wherever it leaks in... Good grief Richard, enough already! You aren't going to convince Terry that heat doesn't dry out soundboards. Wanna guess why? Soundboards don't seem to show any interest in semantics and high concept. They aren't much interested in RH% either, but the resulting changes in EMC sure get them moving. Remember pianos going flat in the winter and sharp in the summer? Remember Dampp-Chaser systems and how they ameliorate humidity swings and stabilize seasonal tuning drift - all with a few HEATER BARS??????? Hello, hello. Testing... testing... <G> Ron N
