>> Although the piano did not >>actually get wet the owners are claiming the new piano has been completely >>ruined by being in the damp enviornment for a few days. One of the sadess items I have ever seen was a Bechstein 9ft which was exposed to high moisture levels. The bridges cracked and the pitch went up about 40 cents. Whether the piano will survive, only time will tell. >My first, gut level reaction: if it didn't get actually wet, I'd be very >suspicious of someone telling me the piano is totally ruined. I have seen a small Korean grand where no water got on the piano, but the strings and tuning pins rusted and the soundboard developed many pressure ridges. This piano was written off.
