water damage

[dcp2]

List

I service a Steinway D (1920's) which received some water damage this past
week.   In addition to the obvious damage to some hammers, damper felts,
backchecks, and finish, I wonder about possible problems with the wound
strings.   Is it likely they will go dead in the near future due to the
moisture which collected in the windings?   If any of you have information
regarding this I would appreciate a response.

If your answer is in the affirmative, I wonder if you could give me a
ballpark figure for the cost and installation for a new set of wound
strings?  (I need this info for the insurance company.)

Thanks much.
