They will help more with the vertical regulation problems than with the grands. I personally don't see how they can be much help (if any) with humidifying grand actions, although Dampp-Chaser seems to advertise as such. Maybe they know more than I do (obviously!), but maybe it's hyped up a bit for marketing purposes. I like the systems -- don't get me wrong. Just don't see how they can humidify inside a grand action cavity. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
