I know Saundra had to clean a Marshall & Wendell also and complained about it the entire time. it also was a piano that had a mouse problem. I wonder if that was the one by the back hall-way with the bad finish bubble on the side. <BR><BR>Another mouse encounter happened back in Indiana when my neighbor gave me a piano she had in her garage. I took it it to give it a home while I took it apart to see what I could do with it in terms of learning. The pin block was separated from the frame. It had old rusty strings, loose tuning pins, you name it. It didn't smell awful oddly enough. I started
taking it apart and the next day I decided to take out the keys. I found a dead critter stuck to the key bed. My wife was pregnant with are son and I had to open most of the windows in the house. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad after I cleaned it, but that smell is so hard to get rid of even after the critter is long gone or dried up. <BR><BR>How do you folks on the list get rid of the mouse odor in a piano? If one doesn't have an ozone machine, what else can be done to get the odor out of the wood? I do know that after replacing the hammer rest rail felt, spring rail felt and other felts, it seems to have had some beneficial affect. Every now and then the odor comes back. <BR><BR>Marshall<BR>ps. are my e-mails making it through as well? I haven't had too many responses lately, so I just wanted to make certain I was putting in the right address again. <BR></SPAN></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic"><SPAN
