---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment If you cant get a needle into it, then steam or water/alchohol treatment is the thing.. course you could always mush them up with a pair of pliers... but mushing isnt really what you are after. If you use damp or water/alcohol, and have never attempted this before I would suggest you correspond a bit privately with Roger Jolly, myself, and any one else who expresses interest in helping out so as to get a good idea of what to do before jumping into this. In any case one is wize to start out very conservative when first doing this... especially on a decent quality piano.
