They know for sure the piano has been in these conditions for at least 6 months. </BLOCKQUOTE> Toomy I would wait at least 6 months, with the piano in a dry and stable environment, before assessing any damage. I know the insurance company wants to settle this claim as soon as possible, but that's their problem. There is no way of knowing what is going to happen to the piano in a short period of time.
