Hi, Fenton,
Remembering that different jurisdictions (in the case, States) have
widely varying regulations controlling fumigation (including what
can/cannot be used), I suggest contacting whatever company the church
plans on using for this work to ask them what they are using.
While some chemicals can derogate various materials that are used in
pianos, others are more friendly.
Hope that this is of some help.
Kind regards.
Horace

I have a church with a newer Kawai Grand they've just purchased, they are now contacting me with concerns as they schedule fumigation for the building. I simply have not considered this before, should my clients be concerned or take any precautions with their piano before fumigating?
