We apparently had a fire extinguisher sprayed around the choir room at Tulane last night, including the D. It's not wet, it's the yellow powder kind. Suggestions welcome, -- ----Dave Is the university self insured? If not, you might be able to negotiate for a new piano. From what I understand the chemicals in fire extinguishers are pretty caustic, and will corrode the string, pins, center pins, it gets into all the felts, etc. In order to get the piano back into performance condition, it would need to be completely rebuilt. When the D on our stage was vandalized, we were able to convince the insurance adjuster that there was no guarantee that the piano would ever be in the same condition as it is now. And that is why we needed a new instrument. We got one, and kept the old one, which I repaired, but it is now our "secondary" concert piano.
