Yep, every time I cut down a tree that I need a rope to make it fall in
the right direction.    A dead tree that is.  We have an elm (Chinese)
blight
here.... : ( . There is a lot of this wood to be had for free if only
someone could figure out a use for it. 

Hmm maybe I could make piano bench sides and legs out of these trees. 
Parts of them are  dark brown like walnut. 

I am wondering if an old Conn Strobotuner would be a good source of light
to view vibrating piano strings. If I could only figure out how to do it
in the piano.
