How do I get a dead rat out of an organ pipe?!
Question: How do I get a dead rat out of an organ pipe!?
Apparently a rat (I think it's a rat, could be a pigeon but the church has rats) fell into GGG# of the Bombarde rank!. The pipe is knuckled just above the boot so I can't just poke it out with a rod!. It's been in there for a long time and is pretty much mummified and stuck pretty good!. This is a half length so the pipe is about six feet long!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
If you can get access to an air compressor you need to fill the pipe with water and put the compressor on the small end!. The object jammed in the pipe will shoot out with all the water!. You need to be prepared for significant recoil!. I've done this several times and it never fails to work!. The more air pressure the better!. Afterwards, give the inside of the pipe a dose of de-natured alcohol to kill any germs and dry out the water!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
I'm afraid I'm gonna need 30 points to give you the Best Answer on that one!.
Ha ha!.!.no really, try a fishing rod with some treble hooks on a line!. Keep "casting" down the pipe until you hook onto 'Mickey'!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
