Sorry you cannot get in touch with Dave. Jim Schmitt in the Portland Chapter is very experienced in smoke damaged pianos and has done some excellent work in my shop. His phone number is 503-238-7279. Email at Pianotenor@integrityonline.com Hope this helps.

I searched the archives and found Dave Swartz mentioned more than once - but when I tried to contact him via the e-mail address associated with his name, it bounced..then I went to his web site-www.majesticpiano.com - no such animal.. then I tried to call his 'office' number in Minn. and a female voice on the answering machine did not mention his name as one of the people who would be available at the 'office' number...called his 'shop' number - constant busy signal...the same addresses and phone numbers are listed for him in the current PTG Membership Directory. ..so I have done my initial leg work on this trying to contact someone who has experience with this type of work..is there anyone else reading this e-mail that has this type of experience(smoke removal from a piano)? ALL answers are greatly appreciated in advance. Rook >>
