Thanks for the responses to my mold question! I have a further question: either of you know anything about an "ozone chamber" treatment for mold? I'd never heard of it, and couldn't get any details from my contact. I've been told that it will be used to decontaminate furniture, and that the company involved has changed its mind and now refuses to do the piano for reasons I can't find out. Incidentally, I'm acting only as an informant in this situation-- the piano itself is almost 400 miles from me, and would not be working on it anyway, being far to busy with my staff work here at HSU. To the university tech from Miami: I feel foolish, but somehow your message has disappeared from my campus mailbox and I can't remember what you said exactly. Please weigh in again, if you wouldn't mind! When you mention rebuild, are you talking about a total "soup to nuts" type, i.e., action, soundboard, bridges, etc., or just action? Thanks again!
