A small grand I recently serviced is showing severe rust/corrosion at =
bridge
pins and across the deck of the bridge. This is a 90 year old 5' Fischer
that was restrung only 6 or 7 years ago. It appears that no bridge work =
was
done, i.e. new pins, cap, ect. There is no corrosion anywhere else on =
the
wire. Ideas as to what would cause this? Bass strings are beginning to =
break
at the front bridge pin. I am not so concerned about this piano (too =
late)
as I am in learning what caused this for my own education.

Mouse urine is my guess.The little buggers use the bridge as a highway =
and
make deposits along the way.
