/\/\ounting a heater bar

[Carlos Ralon]

My practice will never install a DC without a stat.  Old or new.  Hanging is OK, BUT sell them a H-2 stat.  Customers will confuse the seasons and plug it in during the wrong season.
Teach your client and do it right.

  Just hang it a foot below the key bed with a couple of pieces of picture wire. I've seen lots of older installations done like this and they have worked fine for years.

  Greetings,

   

          I went to a church the other day that had a Baldwin Hamilton Studio upright. It had a heater bar just (and I am not joking here)_ just thrown into the bottom of the piano-not mounted on anything, just loose and setting on the pedal trapwork!..and plugged in! I was asked to mount it.  It is not spring loaded so it can be fit in. 

   

   Can a heater bar be mounted with 2 simple sheeet metal strips about an inch wide,  bent into a loop and the tab of the loop screwed into the back of the key bed? Will metal mounting loops of any kind interfere with the heat or function of the thing?

  What Is the best way to mount a heater bar?  

   

  Thanks
