Which magic anti rust agent might that be? And how does one rinse out a water damaged piano without doing more damage? Bottom line, as Del said, is that there is no way of anticipating what these pianos will do in the future. Meanwhile, the insurance companies have a lot of other people waiting to be screwed and won't wait three years to see what the piano does. They want answers now. This leaves you with two options. Condemn all pianos that have been wet, which is the only safe call, or guess, which is on YOU. If I was pretending or presuming to do my customers right, which is my first intent, I'd err on the safe side and write the pianos off if there is any doubt whatsoever. Ron N
