More pitch makes tone wood easier to light, I think, or less pitch makes
better tone. I don't remember the pitch, exactly, but I think that was the
tone.

You do it just like you'd describe the color taupe to someone who has been
blind from birth, in a language neither of you are familiar with. Wave your
arms a lot and speak loudly.

Pitch is frequency, tone is - enunciation. Your piano's on pitch, but has a
Brooklyn accent.
