I once arrived to do the regular tuning on a Brambach grand to find the the cat had sprayed the entire inside rim. The owner was furious, although I held back from telling her it could have happened to a nicer piano. Six months later the piano smelled clean. What she had used was a pad of "Bounce", which usually gets tossed into the clothes drier to suppress static electricity. Bill Ballard RPT "Never try to teach a pig to sing.
