<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Folks, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. While cleaning up this piano, is =
it
permissible to lightly sand the inside of the case wooden parts? =
This
piano looks like it had water damage. There is light mold, lightly =
rotted
wood, and the green stain from felts on wood parts adjacent to felt =
parts.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Also, the bridal wires and damper =
wires are
really corroded. I found using a Dremel tool with a fine wire =
brush gets
most of it off, and then following with a metal polish shines them up =
real
nice. Do you think that is making the metal too bare, and these =
parts
will corrode again quickly?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have dug into an old Kimball =
upright that is
going to be my practice piano for repairing. A question I have =
is about
cleaning corrosion.....how? Today I am referring to the metal =
frame in
the action. I have completely stripped the action, and want to =
the clean
up the metal frame parts. Somebody in the past had dabbed on =
with a
brush as far as I can tell, silver paint to hide the corrosion. =
I
thought an electric drill with a wire brush was overkill, and would =
damage the
wood parts, a Dremel tool seems like it will hardly put a dent in the
job. That leaves steel wool? Or a hand wire brush.
Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
