Yeah, I'm aware of that. I don't have any reason to think this is the =
same verdigris-stuff that attacks Steinways. It is not green at all, and =
I had no Christmas trees growing out from the action centers (ever see =
that - it looks so cool - as long as it is not your piano!).

But your point is well taken - who knows, this stuff might come back =
even after a rebushing. I think I'll just give the owner two options - =
repinning (with lots of warnings about no guarantees for more than a =
week or so) or replacement.

Thanks.
