who's responsible???

[Ron Torrella]

In both scenarios I'd bill whomever hired me to do the work, noting the damage
and the work required to fix them (keep track of your time). I often think I can
justify the cost of a digital camera for situations like that (as well as
several dozen other useful purposes in this field!). Let the person paying the
bill deal with whomever is "upstream" from them. The piano's there, it needs to
be fixed,  and that's what you were hired to do.
