<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had considered weather or not the level
signals from the Damp chaser water tray level sensors could be used somehow to
activate a solenoid that would maintain water in the tray.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe Ruth or Webb would have some thoughts on
this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would appear risky to set up something like that
and walk away from it for the winter.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The problem won’t be
keeping the moisture down but up. During the winter where it’s cold it
will be too dry. Assuming power and that the cabin will be kept above
freezing, the capacity of the tank will not be adequate to keep the piano
humidified for several months. I suppose the question is whether you can
install a larger tank. You might look into fashioning a larger one out
of something which you can temporarily slide underneath the piano. You
will need to modify the tube which feeds the wicks by lengthening it so it
extends down into the larger tank. I’d probably talk to the DC company
and see what they say. </SPAN></FONT></P>
