The piano has what appears to be two different types of mold growing inside the cabinet. One type is black and very flat, and seems to be mostly attacking the wood parts - keys, cabinet, damper heads, etc. The other type is white and grows in small fuzzy clumps, and is mostly on the damper felts. The piano owner is allergic to mold, so we need to get rid of this problem one way or another (I would advocate getting rid of the piano, but she wants to keep it). </BLOCKQUOTE> Scott You should take Bill's and Carol's posts, and show it to the customer. What is it about that piano that she thinks she HAS to have it in her home? Ask her if she would put a 85 year old dusty moldy couch in her living room. Maybe she thinks that since the mold is on the insides, it won't bother her. This is a similar situation as what Les Bartlett asked about. (bad pin block on a Chickening grand). For your own safety, stay away from this piano. Her ignorance should not be your problem. Why should you put your own health at risk, just so that she can have a "pretty piece of furniture" in her living room? Wim </HTML>
