I had a cat spray inside my piano just after pins had been re-set. It was awful. I used baking soda and it did a fair job, now there are better products for killing odors. The cat moved to another home that day.

BEWARE!! That's a restringing job, for sure!! And....It really stinks! (why do I know this???) A cat nearly ruined my '69 Fender Jazz bass except that I caught him in the act....boy...he thought he was dead! Cleaned it out in time, except I had to replace one pick-up!

Second, for probably the first and last time, I can answer a question posted here, re dogs spraying on piano legs. Good long answers are here: http://www.dogchatforum.com/belly_bands_dog.htm Some short answers are: try aluminum foil on the legs; keep the animal out of the room; supervise the animal when in the room; try belly bands (dog diapers). Also, some technicians may not be aware of this, but cats love to play inside open grand pianos. Clients should be warned of the potential for damage. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
