[CAUT] water stains

[Paul T Williams]

Hi List,

We had a boo-boo in the storage "garage" in the basement of one of the 
recital halls.  A pipe or something leaked on the cover which seeped 
through and sat of the lid at the very back and soaked in for about two 
weeks before the stage manager pulled it out for a concert.  It is our 
secondary piano in that hall.  It's a 1958 Baldwin D.  No water got inside 
the piano and when I tuned it this morning after sitting out for a few 
days, the tuning was fine. (thank God for that).

It has the old laquer finish which actually was starting to crackle all 
over prior to the accident and now has a platter sized white stain on it 
and feels rather gummy. 

Is this fixable or are we doomed to major surgery?

Also, Does anyone have a suggestion (if it's fixable) who does refinishing 
work in the Nebraska/Kansas area??

Thanks
