Oops?

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Yes but these brassy P.S.O.'s will sound better when horribly out of tune
generally, and some old little pianos  have a better sound than actual ones.


I too had call backs of people who could not play after having hardly put a
semitone flat piano at pitch and in tune. Fortunately a few days later they
where happy again, the time they acclimate to the new pitch and sound.
