I had to pull a drop action on a 60 year old Kimball spinet. After I had removed the action, and keys, the owner asked if he could vacuum the dust under the keys etc. Glad to have the help, I accepted his assistance. After tinkering with the action on a table in the next room, I return to the piano and found the owner, scrubbing the strings with a big scrub brush and bucket of water. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! After drying them with paper towels, I finished the job uneventfully. Anyone have any predictions on the life of this piano from experience? Remember this is Florida. Phil Ryan Miami Beach
