List, I have been through the archives and have not found enough information to prepare myself for an appt. tomorrow. Could some of you elaborate on your guidelines in making an insurance assessment of a smoke damaged piano. I am worried about long term damage, odor removal, corrosive effects of ozone treatment, glue joints after the steam present, and anything else I need to consider. At what point do I total the piano? This is a Baldwin that is only several years old. Some posts in the archives say smoke, steam, and ozone have minimal effects and some stress long term problems will ruin the piano. Are there any clear guidelines to use? Also, I tried to contact Majestic Piano Co. mentioned in the archives and have not been able to get through. Any and all help will be appreciated. thanks, chris -Christopher D. Purdy R.P.T. -School of Music, Ohio University -Athens, OH 45701 -mailto:purdy@ohio.edu -(740) 593-1656 office -(740) 593-1429 fax
