Hello David and List, The undercover was developed to allow better system performance in drafty environments. We used a box fan in our test room to simulate such an environment. By creating a better confined space the system preformance improved dramatically. The humidistat needs to be positioned to 12-14 inches from the humidifier to eliminate moisture buildup. The material for the undercover was chosen so as not to change the sound of the piano. LaRoy Edwards helped us with this testing. I will send you the username and password off the list.
