Re: [disklavier] new piano smell

2003-04-01 by Carol Beigel

I come across a couple of new pianos every year that have a funky odor.  It 
goes away after the case dries out in the first year.  I think it is a "wet 
mahogany" odor that permeates the wood from the veneer on the inside rim.  
It's harmless unless the smoke detector goes off!
