<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi, James. =
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> First of all, what =
do you mean
by "rear bars". Did Damp-Chaser come out with little bars while I was in =
one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In order to really =
contribute to
any scientific discussion about why this worked so well for you, =
we first
have to know what the general conditions are where you live. For =
instance, if
you lived in a fairly wet environment, putting the heater bars on the =
back
wouldn't do anything for the action, which may become sluggish, to say =
the
least. You must live in a pretty dry place, where the piano needs the =
moisture
in the action cavity more than it needs the drying power of the =
de-humidifying
bars, am I right? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If I'm wrong; =
wouldn't be the
first time, just ask Wim.</FONT></DIV>
