Kawai GS60 gone forever?

[Avery Todd]

Rob,

   Below is a list of all the Kawai Grands from their Web Page at:
http://www.kawaius.com/

   For the smoke odor, try The Piano Page technical article at:
http://ptg.org/  Look on the left side for technical. Hope this helps.

If that doesn't help enough, try the search engine at :
http://www.webcom.com/wind/ptsearch.html   and do a search on smoke damage.
There's quite a bit there that might help.
