<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work for an insurance company and get lots
of calls for pianos with water damage. One piano I looked
at had been sitting in 6 inches of water. (Heintzman u/r) . The bass
strings are rusted, but there is no other sign of damage. I would like to know
if in the future could the wood warp, split or glue joints come
undone? I certainly would not like a piano that had water
damage. Do I write these pianos off? What amount of water can any
piano withstand? </FONT></DIV>
