It looks like hell and is still being used in the Rehearsal Hall. Doug, I recall reading somewhere that there used to be a single note model of a piano action on display sometime during the first couple of years of the parks opening, (1955-57 perhaps). I think it was in a science exhibit of some sort. A microphone was connected to an oscilloscope so that guests could "see" the A-440. Could you verify this story? Any other details? Rob Goodale, RPT Former Mickey Mouse man. P.S. When I departed the company I left behind a great legacy that I'm sure they still talk about. I accidently dumped a large bucket of elephant pee, (from the "Circus Fantasy" parade), into the audiance. True story, no joke!! Ahh, the good ol' days!
