<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>One of my client
has a small grand with a Piano Disc sitting in the living room,
overlooking the ocean. The dealer suggested to her to keep the PD turned
on all the time to help keep the moisture away. The piano also has a
string cover to protect the strings. When she called to set up an
appointment she mentioned that she and her husband go the mainland for 2 or 3
months at a time, several times a year, and wanted to know what else she could
do to protect her new piano. I suggested a full piano cover, which
she is getting. <br>
<br>
I asked the dealer if he thought leaving the PD turned on
the whole time she is gone would be a good idea, especially with a full piano
cover, and he said no. So I want to put a DC under the piano. But
most DC are on pianos that are open, so the air can circulate. So my question
is, would the heat of the DC do damage to a piano that has a full
cover on it? Because of the constant wind from the ocean, the temperature
in the house doesn't fluctuate too much, from about 75 - 80. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
