Hantavirus- Demousification

[richard.ucci@att.net]

Hi Norm,

I use a Metrovac portable vacuum which has a filter, but I'm not sure how fine the filtering is.
I'll give them a call and see if they have one for this type of job.

I had heard that the virus is not that much of a concern here in the northeast, different type of mouse or something.

I may just let this one go, I was only going to charge about $350 to refelt keybed,level keys and regulate,and tune from 100 cents flat. I was not going to get into extensive cleaning and or painting of keys action parts etc.

Thanks,

Rick Ucci/Ucci Piano
