I think Ken Burton ought to take this thread and turn it into a book. How about we title it: "Ice Cream, Cat Barf and Drive By Shootings" !!! I once got a call to go fix a piano that had sticky keys. As I got into the piano, I could see that it had been around a few mice. The keys simply wouldn't go down and I thought the bushings must have really been loaded with urine. What I found was a couple of mice jammed between the keyframe and the keyslip and they were wedged in tight. That kid really pounded them in there and I almost felt sorry for the mice. They died a rough death. Oh, by the way, did I tell you about my new front rail punchings, guaranteed to limit the amount of downtravel in a key...Highly recommended for gospel churches.
