Now it turns out that the Yamaha dealer is telling my customer that installing a Damppchaser system on the piano will ruin it, and should never be done under any circumstances. Anyone know what Yamaha's official policy is on Dampp-chaser usage?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again,<BR>Patrick C.
