<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Esteemed colleagues,
I was sent to the University today to look at a =
rebuilt
Steinway, that had a pipe burst over it over the weekend. Ceiling =
tile
debris soaked and plastered to the case and strings, reddish finish =
running off
when I lifted the lid, action soaked and frozen, keys frozen, rust =
starting on
strings and pins (and bridge pins), etc. What say ye?
I remember some discussion about =
similar
situations in the past, but the University folk wanted me to run it by =
you
again. Piano is insured. Is it trashed, or =
what?</FONT></DIV>
