Which hot?

[gordon stelter]

Well, why not a little sign saying "Warning: Red
Pepper here! Do not wipe your fingers in the filth
inside this piano, then rub your eyes!"  Maybe Scaff
could sell these.
     But seriously, a POWDERED red pepper deterrent
might be more acceptable to some piano owners than a
lethal solution which leaves a mouse corpse to decay
inside the piano.
