Hello list, A good friend and fellow chapter member asked me to post for help on this delicate matter. A new customer, who was somewhat senile, had a piano in which the key board area had been sprayed, apparently many times by the house hold cat. As the key tops were plastic they seem to have survived the cats efforts. Underneath however, the wooden part of the key and the rails are impregnated with the dried urine residue. My friend plans to replace key pins and punchings but would like some opinions about removing the dried urine residue from the wood so that it won't corrode the new parts he is putting in. Also the smell is a problem. Please reply to the list or to me privately if you prefer, I will see that the info gets past on. Thanks for any help.
