[pianotech] Opinion on Termite Damaged Piano Requested

[Richard W. Bushey]

Ron,

Thanks for the clarification.  Interesting read.  Nice to know.

Do I feel better now???  Not so much! :-)

It does look like the dry termites are not in my area (Missouri) though, 
more down south along the coastal states, so maybe dodged a bullet there!

All this talk of termites makes me have a sudden urge to sharpen some 
pencils?  Maybe get out my whittlin' knife...or maybe check under my house 
for termites.  I hate those things!
