I could sell a DC in a heartbeat but there is no way to install it. The back posts aren't deep enough for an in-the-back install. I think you could use one of the back-install tanks inside the piano at the very bottom right, placed front to back. I've called and written DC about this and they didn't get back to me. If Schaff or someone can get the components as separate items, I'd sure like to try it.  Lemme know what you learn.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Alan Barnard</DIV> <DIV>Salem, Missouri</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"> </DIV><FONT size=2> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a client that wants a DC dehumidification system installed in their piano. It is one of those nasty Aeolian console players (Standard) from the 70s or so. The bottom area behind the knee board is just jam-packed with player stuff. Not much room for a rod and humidistat.
