There's no evidence of mice. When scrubbing down the cabinet a white rag would turn brown with just a few swipes. We have washed the cabinet, soundboard and back posts as good as possible. I have used steel wool on the keys sticks and keybed. The smell was still there so we hauled the piano to Americlean and had them put it in their ozone chamber. At first the smell was more pleasant but now it stinks again. We bought some deodorant gadgets to hang inside which didn't smell all that great either. One day we put it out in sunshine with action exposed to the sun. In fact, I can smell the dang thing as I type this message. Help!! Help!! Anyone have any other suggestions? Actually this Kimball stinks in more ways than one if you know what I mean. Sy Zabrocki--RPT Billings, MT </blockquote> </html>
