Had an old Mathushek action sitting on top of a player piano on the covered back porch of an antique shop ( ran out of indoor storage ), went to check it, and almost ALL of the ivories were EATEN off of it, with mere shreds ( and I do mean shreds!! )remaining !!! Prime suspect: Chip N.Dale, notorious tan-and-white sriped fuigitive, furtively seen darting about the vicinity on previous occassions. No other parts of the action were nibbled on. No "droppings" for forensic analysis. Just shredded material left behind, as one might produce, if dragging a Creamsicle (TM) through one's teeth. Please be on the outlook for other members of this clan, as they may be toothed and dangerous! Thump P.S. Maybe that's why elephants allegedly fear mice, so much ???? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
