  Subject: A real West Virginia piano


  At first, I thought this black, powdery stuff was mold -- but there =
was no rust on the strings, and it was only on the tops of the hammers.

  As I dared to touch it, a train went rumbling by (100 yards or more =
away), and the light bulb came on: very fine coal dust!  Finally, an =
environment that is *beneficial* to a piano!  :-)

      Baldwin vertical--It's the catchers-Butt coverings =
deteriorating-not coal dust.
      You mentioned tops of the hammers ? Did you mean tops of the butts =
and catchers?
