A good friend of mine has unfortunately had a house fire which has sent smoke/ hydrocarbons/ the usual particles all through his house. He has a Steinway M which apparently is covered with smoke particles. I have not seen the piano, but he is concerned that not only is the soundboard dirty, but that the action especially has been affected. It apparently was a pretty severe fire, as he has had to seek lodging elsewhere for what promises to be several months if not longer.
I have no experience whatsoever with damage of this sort, and at this point in my career I don't have the bandwidth or interest in pursuing whatever remedy is needed.
Any suggestions/ interest in addressing this problem would be greatly appreciated.
