[pianotech] Smoke Damage to Pianos

[johnparham at piano88.com]

List,

I am going through 16 years of posts dealing with smoke damage to
pianos.  After 6 years of posts, it seems David Swartz has done the most
objective research on this topic.  Initially, he was responsive to this
topic on the list.  After several years, his posts have waned.  

Has anyone on this list compiled a comprehensive summary of information
collected on the subject?  I am trying to compile information in my
effort to use my current shop work as my latest learning project.
