That's really disgusting!<div><br></div><div>My worst mouse extraction so far was one that had died on the bass bridge of a Baldwin vertical (model 6000 I think).

They asked me (and of course I complied) to devise a "mouse ladder" to put inside the bucket. (This was in the day of the taller reservoir buckets.) Also tried to mouse-proof the piano (using physical impediments) and THAT is no piece of cake. Mice can squeeze their little bodies (I don't think any of their internal organs are anchored) into an opening the size of a dime (that's a full-grown one)! I had to build a "cage" around the pedals, inside. Further tragedy was averted.</div> <div><br></div><div>Joseph</div><div><br></div></div></blockquote></div> </div>
