Do you know this Man ???????

He's probably talking about a square piano where you have to reach to the
rear to get to the tuning pins. Then if a string breaks at the tuning pin
then yes, it will come right at you.  Which is a very minor reason why I
don't do squares.  There are many major reasons why I don't but I don't
want to get too lengthy.
