If a piano falls off a stage, and there is no one around, what kind of a noise DOES it make?? I had a customer who flipped a BRAND new studio upright out of a pickup truck on Christmas eve, as it was being taken home as a present to his girl friend, because he didn't want to pay for delivery. I saw it a few days later, and of course the shiny black poly case was smashed to bits after sliding down the road a few dozen yards. It was a Samick, and amazing as it was to me, after I re-installed the action, which had fallen out due to the crash ( no kidding ) it WASN"T even out of tune!!! I have no idea what happened to the piano, and heard that the couple's relationship suffered the same fate as the piano.... What would be a fitting consequence for philistines who vandalize pianos as ypu've described ?? Jim Kinnear, I.P.T.
