OT to the Max was RE: space between black keys

We gotta write that book, Ron!

Hemp-o-temp??? Sounds like that "exclusive Harmi-Tone action" on the Kimball
console (built by Pratt & Reed and sure looks like almost every other
short-sticker upright action I've seen). I guess it's like the pianos with
"Patented Bell Metal" plates. That's another book someone could write: All
the hype and nonsense piano makers have claimed or implied about their
products, with another whole section on the verbal chicanery, ignorance, and
unadulterated sales BS of some (many? most?) piano dealers.

Tried the organ, but couldn't stop? Gave up on the guitar because you
couldn't pick the right one, bar none?

And the Moon Flower lute, and the  Lambsquartertone with Hemp-o-Tempo.

Yea, me 2... or 3.
