I see this kind of damage a lot. Did you ask the customer of the piano was tested before they left Hawaii? If not it would be a good idea to have that done before returning the piano to them. They need to pay for that. Here the mover charges for both moves and the treatment but I get a little discount for the second move. > > Carpenter Ants, on the other hand, are a different matter. They don't eat the wood, but leave a black tar substance that is very hard to remove. I have to use a chisel and rag to remove it from keys and key beds or any other surface > > Wim </tt></pre> </div>  </div> </font>
