I called Dampp-Chaser, they will sell the newer cover to my tech (not to me). If the part is not exorbitant, I will replace my plastic cover. Thanks! Sam

Here are Damppchaser installation instructions, this will give you a good idea of what the system and installation entails.

The system comes with a sheet of black plastic the covers the back of the piano to keep the humidity in. I don t think the Damppchaser humidifier is powerful

That s great to hear, Bill. My tuner/tech has implied that the back version was not as effective. I haven t had the back system long enough to test accurately.
