> >>a complete, intact mouse skeleton under the keys. > Rodent findings... My best find was a completely freeze-dried mouse corpse in the keybed of an old upright. Being on the Canadian *dry* prairies, the little critter was perfectly preserved, albeit a little on the stiff side. As I had just re-organized the shop with all the tools carefully labelled on pegboard, I stuck the critter tail-first on the tool rack and labelled *MOUSE* underneath it. When questioned by a client later that afternoon, I cheerfully replied"... but we put one in EVERY piano we restore!" True story... honest! Rob Kiddell C.A.P.T. P.T.G. Associate Edmonton, AB, Canada
