<HTML>This reminds me of a client I visited some years ago here In San Diego. The Steinway M had not been tuned in a while and when I opened the lid I was greeted with the strong odor of urine and feces.  In southern CA., it's not uncommon for people to leave their doors open and in this case, a tree rat had taken up residence in the piano. The board was covered in urine and feces. Then I noticed something in the action cavity above the dampers -- something green. Upon pulling the action I found a large collection of Ficus leaves that made a very nice nest. However, the leaves were still green -- and then in looking across the room I saw a silk Ficus tree. The rat had defoliated the silk tree to make the nest. I asked the client if she had not noticed that her fake tree was getting smaller and smaller? I did not retain this person as a client.
