Mice Techs, I once found a Korean grand where the mice pulled all of the tails of the double and trichord damper felts off; it made a nice nest, though I didn't find any mice. Fortunately, the dampers still worked, as the customer wasn't up to new dampers. It took me a while before I realized that the key stains on the balance rail and action side of the keys that every upright I ever tuned seemed to have were mostly rodent stains. Considering how common these stains are I am surprised that we don't find even more droppings than we do. Blaine Hebert
