Jim, If it isn't already happening, you're going to have a lot of rust on the strings and the bass strings will definitely end up sounding at least tubby, at worst, really rattly or even breaking. Your piano owner is up for a re-string. They should check their household contents insurance and see if they are covered - I've heard it referred to as "Animal Impact". They may not be successful, but it's worth mentioning to them. Good luck Mark Bolsius _____ From: Erwinspiano at aol.com [mailto:Erwinspiano at aol.com] Sent: Saturday, 31 March 2007 2:51 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: Litter box soundboard Don't proceed further until you shoot the cat. sincerely & seriously Dale I have a customer with a Kawai grand which has apparently been used as a litter box. I'm looking for suggestions for removing stains from the soundboard without further damaging the strings with cleaning liquids. I have cleaned it using dry methods but it still looks gross. Attached is a photo of the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
