smoke damage

[Wayne Hohle]

hi list
i tried and failed to get info from the archieves today about  smoke
damage to pianos so i hoped you might respond..
a customer had a small fire in the kitchen that generated enough smoke
and soot to thoroughly cover the piano. there is plenty of soot inside
the piano and sticky smoke all over it inside and out as the lid was up.

apparently the fire was small and not a lot of heat reached the piano.

what is the best approach to cleaning this up

thanks
