This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, This is a new one for me. Called to tune a Kimball console about ten years old. All bass strings had a blackish green mark where the hammer and damper = felt contacted the string. Much darker and more build up than I have = ever seen before. In talking to the customer I believe that the strings are being corroded = by an extreme amount of sulfer in the drinking water ( farm well ) used = for a small household of six. Another problem for the piano is the wood stove six feet away already = causing bridge pin looseness! ARGG Any damp chase would further the corosion problem if outside water were = not used. The corosion is so thick on the dampers that they all need to be = replaced, and the crud removed from the hammers as well. I see no solution to the problem untill a new sulferless source of water = is found. Joe Goss ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
