David Call an exterminator to get rid of the problem. Pianos can be "tented". The piano is enclosed in plastic and a pesticide is released inside the tent. It usually takes a couple of days for it to be successful. This won't get rid of the bugs, but it will kill them. There is also no guarantee that they won't return.
