[pianotech] Interesting Find

[Marcel Carey]

Long time ago, when they were still using huts at the Orford Music camp, as I was tuning I saw a field mouse just walking on the hammers, curiously looking at me, wandering what I was doing there. My young daughters were with me so I showed them. They did NOT want me to kill this mouse. So I took my tweezers and carefully remoded it from the piano and took it outside. And then I checked under the keys... There was a nest there and I then removed 10 little babies; they were so cute. But the mother had chewed up mucho felts to make this nest. 

 

I'll never forget the look on that mouse's face.

I had a piano some years back where the customer said none of the keys worked - you couldn't push them down. I went there and removed some of the keys and found the entire keybed - all the space under the keys - was completely filled with acorns. Not really 100% sure how they got there.
