Les, I believe you are doing well to watch out for your client. I assume you client's piano was not covered with a drop cloth when the dry wall work was performed? In the past with smoke damaged pianos I have taken with me individual Sterile Gauze pads. Swab several areas of the piano and save in a labeled individual Ziploc bag. It might seem like overkill to some but I am confident that I am protecting my client. 2 Strut Kindest Regards, Garret From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Leslie Bartlett Sent: Friday, May 07, 2010 11:26 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] drywall dust I have a client who had water damage and had to have a small amount of dry wall work done a month or so ago. I could smell the dust today as I tuned, and think some small amounts of the dust got on her Walter Grnd and Steinway A. I know this stuff is very corrosive and suggested she call a local rebuilder to go over the pianos very carefully for insurance purposes. There were some tiny black dots on some of the copper strings, evidence of some kind of affectation. Was I being overly concerned in recommending this?
