The customer had an ice dam on his roof cause a roof leak directly into his Ivers & Pond grand. Since it was past needing a rebuild at the time and only being nursed along until he could be convinced it was no longer viable as it was and HAD to be rebuilt, the leak served to hasten him along. Other than some water stains on the sound board and causing the genuine alligator outer finish to "crackle off" and the hammers in the treble to "blossom" open, it was no worse off than before. Except now he can hopefully get the insurance company to foot part of the bill for the rebuild.
