<div>Hello,</div> <div> </div> <div>I have a client with a Steinway D (1962) - this piano was damaged by water from an air conditioner condenser failing over it.  The damage seems "minimal", although there are three strings F#2-G2-G#2 that will not permit tuning.  All three pins are in a straight line, and the rest of the pin block permits tuning and so far has been maintaining pitch.   I suspect that the pin block is cracked in the problem area - but hope this not to be the case.   Currently, I have a fan running to gently move air under the pin block - hoping that perhaps a good drying will help the situation (the fallboard is propped open about an inch to permit the air to enter - my thinking is that I didn't want to compromise the operation of the Dampp-chaser too much.   Also, the room is climate controlled and the temperature and RH are at reasonable levels last time I checked).</div> <div> </div> <div>My questions: 1) is it possible that the pin block is not damaged in the affected area?   2) if it is, is there anything short of replacing the pin block that would help the situation?</div> <div> </div> <div>This piano is in a "party room" that is no longer used extensively - so it is not in a critical use situation.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks in advance for any thoughts or assistance.</div> <div> </div> <div>John Radley</div><p>  <hr size=1>Yahoo!
