size=4>I thought it was okay until I had a customer with a 10 year old Baldwin
upright that developed a couple of cracks in the lower part of the soundboard.
The problem with radiant floor heating is it is cons taint unlike a furnace that
cycles on and off. I installed a Dampp-Chaser system last year in this piano and
I couldn't see the cracks this fall when I tuned it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Heating<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I just had a phone call from a music studio that
is installing electric coil radiant heating in the floor. She wondered about
the advisability of putting the coils directly under where the piano will be
placed. I'm thinking it may be better to avoid it, but I should defer to
the greater expertise of this list. <BR><BR>For some reason, although this
question has been bugging them for some time, they only now decided to call me
to ask... now that the workers are there putting the tiles in the floor... so
time is of the essence. <BR><BR>If I don't get a definitive response
from the many wiser persons here, I think I would advise them to avoid an area
for about a one-foot perimeter around the
piano.<BR><BR>TIA,<BR>Paul<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
