@@christianweatherbroadcasting how is this related to a discussion on being safe when cleaning nests? Next time do it in a short that tackles your idea bro.
As a domestic cleaner I had to clean a piano that had sticky homemade blackberry wine all over it. The bottles had all popped their corks, all over the ceiling and books too. Next day I was called back to do it all over again as the rest of the bottles had exploded during the night 😫

Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus! John 3:16 Romans 6:23❤❤
You impress me with your skill, dedication and commitment to your customers. These can be hard traits to find in a lot of people these days. Your videos are also really fun and interesting to watch. I almost forgot to mention that the peppermint oil has to be pure, natural peppermint oil. There are some cheap, synthetic extracts that smell like the real thing to humans but, mice and other rodents can tell the difference.

Auto mechanic here, we also have alot of issues with mice eating wiring and creating nests in the air intake boxes. peppermint oil is a good one! Some other options we see success with are drier sheets, any strong smelling soap bars (I find irish spring to be a good one), and moth balls. Mice hate the smell of anything that's really heavily scented 🍻 good luck guys!
I like to imagine the reason mice like to hang out in pianos is because it’s like a giant opera house to them. Just imagine walking around the inside of a piano as a mouse, the sounds and ambiance would be absolutely breathtaking. Maybe mice enjoy music just as much as we do, but they don’t know how to enjoy it in a respectful way.
My dad was a piano technician, as am I (mostly retired now). He found everything from mouse nests and mummified mice to apparently-used condoms inside of pianos (I can only imagine how & why they got there!). The worst one I encountered myself was an old console with a large portion of the action fused together with bird droppings. It turned out that it had sat for years with the top lid open and an occupied birdcage overhead. At the customer's insistence, I managed to clean it and get it working again, and was actually able to tune it fairly well at 1/2 tone low (the customer didn't want to pay for additional tunings, which I thought would be a waste of time anyway).
As a lot of people like the sound of the piano before more than after it might be that the before tuning was in just intonation for this particular key of the song "A Thousand Miles". OR maybe we just like wonky sounds. After all guitarists use chorus effectpedals to achieve exactly that: The same two notes just slightly detuned to each other.
Ngl, I kina thought the piano sounded better before it was tuned; the partially the of tune strings gave it some extra color and the main notes were still discernible (tho I know that will very quickly start degrading as the tuning worsens..)
The mice droppings is a real thing. There was an outbreak in the early 90’s which resembled Covid 19. It happened on Indian reservation. That area had received a lot of rain, which helped a certain tree to produce more nuts than usual, which in turn attracted much more mice to be present & invade homes. Well the mice left their dropping & when the droppings dried & was disturbed, it released a very dangerous airborne pathogen & adversely affected human beings’ respiratory system. A few people passed away until they figured out what it was & how to treat it came to the scientists almost instantaneously. I love watching these videos!
my family got my grandma’s piano, and rumor has it, mice chewed away some felt pieces in the piano. it was a simple fix, and peppermint oil trick noted!
I’m pretty sure that the reason why peppermint oil works is because it’s really strong, and I hear that minty scents can really damage an animal’s sense of smell or something
I’d be curious how far the pitch raise had to go for that initial tuning. What is the hourglass for? Is it just so time doesn’t get away from you while working?
Hi, thanks for the comment. I’ve had a couple people comment things like this so I figured I should address it. The piano had multiple very expensive issues to fix, and the mouse nest was just “the straw that broke the camels back.” It would have been more expensive to fix the piano completely than to buy a newer/used piano.
I think what cause him to say that wasn’t only because it’s been nesting by rats but also because it’s a free piano, he has said it a few times before about it, a free piano tend to has more damage therefore people would spend more money than buying a used one.
Where do you work out of? I got a piano sitting in my garage that I don’t wanna throw out but I just might have to. It’s dirty, out of tune, the hammers are all worn and gross. It needs a lot of help
You REALLY need to wear gloves and a mask if youre getting in such close proximity to mouse droppings. They can transmit hantavirus or lassa virus or a number of extremely dangerous, high-mortality-rate infections, and you _absolutely_ don't want to risk contracting something like that. Don't die for a piano repair, homie.
Question. At the church, we received as a gift a Baldwin up right piano that is in very good shape. We have it tuned every 6 months and it holds its tune well between tunings. The tone is wonderful. The issue is that I have adjusted the sustaining pedal several times, but just can't seem to get it right. With the pedal down, it does sustain, but not up to my/our expectations. Like the pads are not touching, the strings ( I have looked) but doesn't have that real sustain that we would like, In short, adjusting the bolts/nuts at the pedal doesn't fix the the problem. Any suggestions?
Hi, guys! I'm newfag in theme, so have a question: i feeling interested in piano preparing/tuning/reparing but now i'm have only digital piano and no experience with this kind of work.

Thank you very much, With regards, Oleg.
Hey! Glad you’re interested in this, there’s a big need for it around the world right now. I have a video coming out about this very very soon. it will be a “full length” video on my CZcams channel, so keep an eye out for that
A HEPA filter in the vacuum cleaner, but also an N95 on your face, and ventilating the area as much as possible. Hantavirus is no joke.

And never play Mice on Venus
Yep and u also gotta play The Cat Waltz by Chopin

I have heard the peppermint oil trick, but I’ve also heard that it could be dangerous for some pets, so be careful about where you put it
Very good point in regards to use in pantries!
I love your videos! They actually inspired me so much that I've started on the path to becoming a certified piano tech / tuner.
good luck! :)
That’s awesome! This comment made my day :) Keep me updated.
why does the before sound better than the after
It was still out of tune after... But only part of the keys, which made it sound worse.
Those mice are gonna be happy that there home at least sounds good now
seems like jerry hides in the piano while tom is playing the cat concerto 😂

As a person with seizures i recommend not doing that around people who has seizures cause peppermint oil are not good for people who have seizures
I love the honky tonk tone of the "before", you should have kept it
The client paid him to tune it, so no he shouldnt have 😅
my family got my grandma’s piano, and rumor has it, mice chewed away some felt pieces in the piano. it was a simple fix, and peppermint oil trick noted!
My friends piano had a rat nest in his piano . It got badly destroyed
The way this was worded made me think of a big piano who has a tiny piano of his own 😅

I haven’t gotten my piano tuned in quite a long time and I’m scared there’s some bug in it because when I press some keys they make a buzzing noise
Probably smth fell into your piano touching the strings or smth, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bug 😅

I don’t think it was a mouse
My first thought after hearing the tuned instrument:" wait a minute, that sounds too sharp! If you compare it to the old ... oh ok never mind 😂"
That was Jerry. Don't you remember that one episode of Tom & Jerry?
Thanks for the tip on the mint oil!
As a car electrician, i relate to this as you don't have idea...
Looks like the mice saw the piano episode of Tom & Jerry.
This is why I subscribed to you, you never disappoint 😊
I heard mice hate ammonia crystals. I've been thinking of a way to use it safely for pianos.
Am i weird for thinking before sounded better than after?
Nope.. same here!
Which app do you use to tune the piano? Thank you very much!
I’m pretty sure that the reason why peppermint oil works is because it’s really strong, and I hear that minty scents can really damage an animal’s sense of smell or something
As far as tuning, this piano didn't sound nearly as off as some of your others.
Keep sharing these fascinating vids please!
This is some tom and jerry shit
I liked the before tuning sound more. It just sounded right to me. Probably the 432 hz vibe
I can't hear the difference in before and after. Sounded same to me. Soo that means the piano was completely playable when they got it.
The before was playable but each note was super flat.
I got a piano ad before watching this
I can't imagine what it would be like to clean a grand piano unlike upright pianos ☠️
At least you didn't find any live mice, like I once did in an old reed organ.
I have mice problem at home. I'll try that peppermint oil. Thanks!
Also, please play A thousand years in your next video?
God bless!

Can you travel to Tijuana (México) and work on my 1970 Wurlitzer piano?
Holy cow that thing was flat. That had to easily be 250 cents off, all the way across the board.
For a piano that dusty, honestly the before sound wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be
So tom and jerry was accurate
He is so innocent he censored dying
before and after sound the same
Could you do free bird
Tbh i would use that piano before tuning. It sounds like honky tonk
I have a piano that is in way much worse condition...
I hope one day I can have it restored... but for now I can't afford it...😢
I’d be curious how far the pitch raise had to go for that initial tuning.
What is the hourglass for? Is it just so time doesn’t get away from you while working?
Great videos, I’m subscribed, however your “after” is not correctly tuned
I think that piece sounds better in the lower key!
Nice piano. ❤
Don't use a plastic cup, the oil will eat it over time.
Why did it sound better before 💀
Ikr right like it’s sounds like he’s pressing wrong notes 😭
If you told me to find a new piano after you found mice nest. I'd be finding a new piano tuner!
