All the action centres are very stiff, but I tried Protek CLP on a couple and the effect was immediate.  Interestingly there is no evidence at all of moth damage.<br> <br> Best regards,<br> <br> David.<br> <br> </font> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 27/11/2012 21:12, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:pianotech-request@ptg.org">pianotech-request@ptg.org</a> wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:mailman.4074.1354050752.4133.pianotech@ptg.org" type="cite"> <div><br> </div> <div>Back to the wonderful piano you have discovered;  Are you encouraging the owner to have some rebuilding done to it?  It's really quite a wonderful piano and it's potentials are still there, or at least it looks that way.  Please do tell!</div> </blockquote> <br> </body> </html>
