<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings to all. I've not =

for a while, just sat quietly reading everyone else's troubles! =
Well,
now I've got some of my own! I'm booked to visit a lady tomorrow =
who's
piano has a persistant woodworm problem. I say persistant =
without
knowing if she's had it treated in the past, but she remembers the =
piano
having woodworm up to 40 years back so I'm expecting it to be =
pretty much
riddled with critters by now. My question is: Is there a
piano-specific product available to treat the worm with, or a mix that =
one can
make, or will the "off the shelf" stuff suffice? I did =
treat
one instrument about 18 years back, but can't recall the product we
used. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thankyou =
in
anticipation,</FONT></DIV>
