Yes, he has been sued and he has lost but still his thinking surely was derange.  I am replacing belly parts in a Mason A that got the treatment on the bridge ,block/tuning pin area, strings.  Killed the tone in an other wise healthy and  fairly young piano. Wow! Dale</blockquote> Oh Lor'!  It's unbelieveable what some folks get up to..... I was told that the guy who WD40'd the string coils had also done something with it down below and I had a look. The bridge seemed ok, so I am hoping he confined himself to the string loops and hitch pins, or maybe something to do with the pedals. Best regards, David. </body> </html>
