Fire/smoke damage

[Mark Bolsius]

I'd restring and repin it, replace damper felts as a minimum. Most smoke is
_very_ toxic to high carbon steel wire and tuning pins. Check for other
signs of excessively high humidity caused by the steam when they put out the
fire.
The strings are the biggest concern....and you're right, it'll look just
fine, but I just about guarantee that at some time in the (near) future the
strings will be a delightful shade of rust brown.
