<DIV>Contact a company that does smoke damage from fires. They will put
the piano in a room with an ionization process. It is the process
eliminates smoke from fires, So I presume it will do the same with
cigarette smoke.</DIV>

smell? We have just taken delivery of a Kawai GS-50, reconditioned 10 years
ago, and has been in a smokers home ever since. We have cleaned every part
that is possible, with all sorts of chemicals, even painted the underneath,
both rim and soundboard with shellac, all to no avail. The front string pads
are certainly a source of the stink, but how does one clean or disinfect
them without rusting the strings? The action too is as bad as the rest of
it.
We have recovered the music desk liner and the stool, which certainly
helped.
I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks.
