style="FONT-FAMILY: Geneva,Arial,Sans-serif">Hi Shawn,<BR>The Marshall &
Wendell piano, is that the same one I took the action out of to
refurbish? 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
