[pianotech] animals interrupting tunings

[Gerald Groot]

I had one of those talking birds that knew more swear words than I do!!! 

Dogs barking are no fun.  Hollowing is worse.  People think they are singing
but, their ears are actually hurting.  Dummies.  Leave the room then!  :)

What kinds of stories do some of you have about animals interrupting
tunings? I have one customer with a dog which tried to sing the note I was
tuning. Sometimes I ask customers to remove the bird cage from the room as
the birds really get going as I do the top octaves.

Somebody's comment recently about a Yugo (referring to the Winter piano) led
me to a web page about the Elvis parody on the Yugo. That led me to another
one with this Einstein Parrot video:
