[pianotech] Flood damaged pianos

[Joseph Garrett]

Ric,
Neither one actually Retards rust and I damned sure don't want them
anywhere near a piano string! Granted they will lubricate, but they will
not dispel moisture sufficiently to stop the rusting process, especially
with salt water, imo.. Of course, that's just my opinion, which is based on
a few flood damaged situations and lots of pianos with severe moisture
problems..>G>
Joe
