He had a heater bar in the piano and I suggested = that he plug it in to dry up some moisture. He did. Two weeks later he = calls and tells me it only helped allittle and the thing is still = unplayable.=20 I am thinking that the only thing left to do is to bring = the action home and put it near a radiator so they dry out, and give = each pin a shot of protek. Any other suggestions?=20 thanks, Julia Gottchall, Reading, PA=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
