[pianotech] Grand piano and dog

[Myrna Rybczyk]

I had a cat spray inside my piano just after pins had been re-set. It was
awful. I used baking soda and it did a fair job, now there are better
products for killing odors. The cat moved to another home that day.

Cats can also "spray" their territory within pianos!!! BEWARE!!  That's a
restringing job, for sure!! And....It really stinks! (why do I know this???)
A cat nearly ruined my '69 Fender Jazz bass except that I caught him in the
act....boy...he thought he was dead!  Cleaned it out in time, except I had
to replace one pick-up!

First, many thanks to all for tremendously helpful advice on CA.

Second, for probably the first and last time, I can answer a question 
posted here, re dogs spraying on piano legs.

Good long answers are here: http://www.dogchatforum.com/belly_bands_dog.htm

Some short answers are: try aluminum foil on the legs; keep the 
animal out of the room; supervise the animal when in the room; try 
belly bands (dog diapers).

Also, some technicians may not be aware of this, but cats love to 
play inside open grand pianos. Clients should be warned of the 
potential for damage.
