 Due to overhead water damage to a Kawai GE-1 grand a quotation has been made to the insurance company for in situ re-pin and re-string.

This was an extensive flooding to the plank area effecting the dampers, 
> agraffes and who knows how much damage to the plank.
>    Ron Overs has also inspected it and recommended a new plank, be fitted. 
> I wrote the piano off, as there was too much unknown about the longevity 
> of any repairs that may have to be done.
>    The insurance company have, naturally taken the lowest quote 
> irrespective of any further problems down the track, that is the 
> re-string.
>    Could I ask the list what they feel about this sort of repair, and the 
> value of going the full hog on repairs to such a piano.
>    Thanks,
>    David Lawson Wangaratta Australia.
