I would guess IF they worked well at all, they would work best with lids down, covers on piano, undercover/back cover, etc. to help isolate the air space you are trying to control.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've seen similar products used in pianos that were designed for gun safes, but was skeptical of whether they were effective or safe to use on pianos. Typically, I had them removed more for fear of either chemicals being emitted from them or mice tearing into them and using the beads for nesting material, etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thoughts?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Richard W.
