Thumper said: "Yes, I am quite certain that a hospital would love to let you put a filthy old piano action in an autoclave! ( Not.) " Thumper, How do you know, unless you try it!???? It is possible. Having worked in Central Supply and other areas of Hospitals, I know it is possible. Most of the stuff they put in a Gas Autoclave is far more dangerous and icky than what you will find in pianos! I suspect you would need to talk to many "powers-that-be" to get it done, but I'll bet it's doable! Also, you would be required to give it a good cursory cleaning before hand. Not a biggee in my mind. Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
