Things go better with Coke?

Kevin,

You may be looking at a great deal of work, but then again it may be
very little.  To state the obvious, first take a look-see, then you'll
know better what you're dealing with.

A high school music teacher called me when a soda was spilled into their
Baldwin grand.  They cleaned up what they could before I got there.  As
it turned out, it was a diet soda, so I had no sugar to deal with.  Most
of the soda pop had gone on the soundboard.  Relatively little got on
the action, so with less than a half hour's work I had it cleaned up and
there have been no related problems since.  I hope your situation turns
out like this.

Regards, Clyde
