Hi David, Yes you can do that--but you will need a second controller for the one rod. Use the lowest possible wattage. If you are going dehumidification only and use a bottom cover there may be enough warmth to do nice things to the action provided the lid is kept fully closed except when the piano is in use, so I would try that first and then "retro fit" the action cavity bar. I'd also be tempted to try to protect the pinblock with something like "space cloth" which is a multilayer flexible laminate material, if you do add on a cavity bar. http://www.nasatech.com/Briefs/Feb98/KSC11938.html At 11:01 PM 8/25/2003 -0700, you wrote: >What's is the general recommendation for putting a DC on or near the action >brackets on a grand.
