[CAUT] Performance facility inventory - a 2nd twist

[Cy Shuster]

I don't know the school's policy, but I'll relate this story.

I had an unnerving experience: a conductor put sheets of newspaper on the 
strings of a beautiful "B" (without asking), to simulate the sound of a 
banjo.  Unfortunately, she wedged some of them under the dampers!  I didn't 
find this out until after I had tuned for rehearsal that morning.

Even more ironically, there were two pianos on stage, and the unvoiced 70's 
Yamaha C3 sounded quite like a banjo already!

There was no damage done to the wedges, but it was scary...
