I have cleaned a lot of nasty rodent infestations but there was one in an old country church that I refused.

Have any of your folks ever refused to work on a piano in someone's home that had lots of rodent droppings and urine in it - all over the keys, keybed, etc. I have one that I looked at, had to order some parts (super minor things) and told them I'd be back to repair and tune. I have been wanted to NOT do that piano ever since. I wish to call her back and decline to do any work (keys) on it - this thing is infested (not to mention the place smells like an uncleaned 10,000-animal dog kennel). Lady seems nice enough. This is the worst case I've ever run into. Am I nuts or am I thinking reasonably? Terry Farrell
