Years ago I had a customer who had a beautiful Siamese Cat. Now I am an animal lover and thought this cat was great. She, the cat, had an annoying habit of sitting in the corner while I was tuning and giving out that screeching howl that Siamese make. Very hard to tune with that noise going on and the customer thought it was cute that the cat was willing to help me!!!!<BR>
One time as I was trying to tune the bass section a string broke on a C# , flew out the back of the piano and struck the cat!!!!! The cat left the room in a huge huff and never came out again that day and would not stay in the room on my subsequent tuning visits. :-)<BR>
