Dogs and pianos

[Jonathan Finger]

Avery, no need to yell at me here.  

That's exactly what was done.  Rather than charge the customer hundreds
of dollars for me to buff and clean them by hand, I'm ordering a new set
from YC.  

Still disgusting to think about.  Dog urine doesn't corrode on contact,
it has to SIT there for awhile.  Which was the case here. 


Don't forget, I'm the pro-dog one here.

And a good ozone machine (a real one producing contained lightning)
should be able to take care of whatever odors people are having troubles
with.
