Wasn't sneaking too much since I did the Officer's and NCO clubs as well as the school pianos. I was only working rotating shift 8-12hrs/day 7 days a week at the powerplant, the rest of the time was my own! Actually wouldn't mind going back, but I'm not too close to Norfolk or Charleston to catch the military flights. Any suggestions about keeping those > pianos dry (string covers? dampchasers?) and free of termites? Dampp-Chasers are the first line of defense. I saw some pianos set on pie tins which had gotten a liberal coating of insecticide, but I can't say how effective that was. > Also, still crave the phone # of Keyboard Carriage, Kentucky.
