    Hi Ron,

    Call Dave Swartz, RPT of Majestic Piano Co. (612) 939-0997.  He has a
    company that specializes in smoke damage repair and odor removal.
    I trained under Dave at a seminar in Waco, TX a few years ago.  Although
    I have never had Dave correct a problem such as yours I can still vouch
    for Dave's integrity, high level of expertise, and willingness to help.
    Good luck!

Some time ago, one of my rental pianos came back from a home where it got
a heavy dose of tobacco smoke.  I was wondering how to get the smoke out.
 About the same time, my Grandmother bought a car that had the same
problem.  The dealer told her to put dryer sheets inside for a few
weeks. It worked.  I tried it in my rental piano.  It worked.  I have
since used this method several times and so far it hasn't failed me.
