Since I get posts via email, the image is small. Until I viewed it on the web, I couldn't see it very well. Ugh! What a mess! One interesting thing is, the copper and brass are obviously very corroded, but the steel looks relatively clean.
I can't imagine the smell. Time for a respirator.
One of the less desirable aspects of our trade. Urine for a treat!

All,
Below is a picture I snapped of what cat urine can do to strings and agraffes (not to mention everything else that gets contaminated). Feel free to save it and use it to convince clients how important it is to keep their piano safe and secure, even when in storage. I'm this case, the car had access to the piano in the church sanctuary during renovations (even though they were advised to store the piano during that process.)
