I gather that regardless of how the bass strings fared down at the hitchpins, those with wet dampers pressing against them will have water seeping past the windings and into the core wire.

I didn't see any twisting a day later. What I can check out is how water flows on a case panel such as the hinged top lid. One would expect it to find its way between the edges joined by the hinges. (I'm gessing that's how the dampers got it.) But when it runs forward to the outward edge, then down over that edge and arrives 3/4" later at the bottom edge of that edge, does it then obey gravity and drip straight downwards, or follow some other rule of surface attraction and wander back in along the underside of the panel? > Did the keys get wet? If they did, problems will come. On the list of long-term concerns Mr. Bill ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
