<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a very nice customer with a nice Kawai small
grand piano.. Has a Dampp Chaser system (dehumidifier with humidistat only
as is customary in FL).. and a home made string cover. I've
serviced his piano for several years, and just got this email. It
isv always only a few cents flat from where I left it last
year.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3><STRONG>I have a question.....recently, we have
been hearing a popping, snapping, cracking noise coming from the piano.
It's intermittent and we hear it every few minutes. Sometimes not at
all. At first, one night, I thought someone was in the house. We
finally decided it is probably coming from the piano. Especially at
night. Does this ring a bell with you? It's not real loud and that
might explain why we hear it mainly at that time. Just wondering what
you think. I don't see any parts falling out of it so that's a good
sign.""</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Other than the Humidistat making the slight clicking at it
turns on the heater bars, I dont know what to think. They do like to keep
windows open. Maybe temp or humidity cycling causes random clicks in
wooden joints. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Any helpful thoughts? Please avoid Gremlin,
Supernatural, or haunted lines of thought, unless you are speaking from
experience.\</FONT></DIV>
