storms dropped a tree on an 1895 S&<st1:place w:st="on">S A2</st1:place> I
had just built a belly for. Actually it hit the house, only real case damage
is a split top lid. But, the piano had several gallons of water in the belly
for 3 or 4 days. The piano is back in my shop for evaluation and to rescue it
from the house demo. This is only my 4<SUP>th</SUP> belly job, I received
several complements on this job from other techs and was thrilled with it. I
owe all this to the belly crowd out there who helped me with advice,
especially my bro Dale Erwin who let me into his shop. Now, what to do, what
to do. Would you guys pull this board out and build a new one? The piano was
under the collapsed roof for quite some time with rain poring in before it was
finally moved out of the way when photos were took. The wire is starting to
rust, so it must go, I’m thinking I should do the whole thing
over.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
