I've found old coins, a postcard and an old photo in the bottom, a mourning card in the keybed and a colleague tuned a piano where the pianist, obviously a secret drinker, kept a stash of liquor behind the bottom panel.
What items have you found inside pianos?

What items have you found inside pianos?
Just a bit of blatant trivia - what items have people on the forum found hidden or lost inside pianos?

Box full of porn videos, another box of James Bond videos!!!, big dead rat down the back of one upright we moved. Loads of books inbetween the top door and action on a school piano ( that would account for the heavy feel to the keyboard). After Xmas party poppers and peanuts in grands in bars. Pens, pencils, glasses, rubbers, paperclips etc. Bit of card with "THIS CARD HAS BEEN TREATED WITH DDT" in one old piano. 
Photo of the husband of the house with a bow tied around his meat and 2 veg being led about at a swingers party. Keeping a straight face was not easy when writing the invoice on that one. I could go on but I wont!

My dad claimed he'd found a sovereign when he was young. This was my incentive to clean out foul old pianos every Saturday for my 6p pocket money. Crafty old so and so.
Why is it that kirby hair grips are so universal in key frames? Add to that needles and xmas tinsel.
Mouse nests are quite common,composed of a multicoloured array of tape ends,green baize and blue listing felt
Wreaks havoc with the touch

Our mission in life is to tune customers--not pianos.
Any fool can make a piano-- it needs a tuner to put the music in it

A soiled pair of Y-fronts, a dead mouse stuck between bass strings (felt this before spotting it), a wine glass(broken).
But, on a more positive note have also found,
drugs (class C until quite recently), toning needle holder(quite a nice one) and just last week a tuning lever.
Am still waiting for the biscuit tin full of cash.
