Crossed tuning forks indicate that the piano was a Yamaha. :-) regards Michael G (UK) ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Richard Brekne=20 To: Rob Goodale ; Pianotech=20 Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 7:34 PM Subject: Re: A Hidden Meaning? =20 Rob Goodale wrote:=20 I was just looking over this month's Journal. It has a most = interesting picture on the cover and I was considering what hidden = meanings might be there. Here are a few that I came up with... 1. = There are two tuning forks. They are made of crust indicating that they = have inaccurate pitch.2. The forks cross each other which would suggest = a historic temperament.3. There is flaky crust all around the pie = meaning that it is an older piano, probably somewhat dirty.4. The = squiggly lines indicate that the piano has multiple false beats.5. It = is a chocolate pie representing a dark mahogany finish.=20 =20 =20 Boy I hope your ears are better then your eyes there Rob... Chocolate = my pattootie... thats a Pumpkin pie if I ever saw one. Now what those = french fries are doing laying around those webbed pitch forks I dont = know... but I theank on it for a while and see what I come up with :)=20 =20 =20 =20 6. There are multiple cracks which would suggest a cracked sound = board, possibly a loose pin block.7. It is in a glass dish meaning that = it has real ivory keys.8. The pie is round so the action is in = reasonable regulation.9. Because the pie was baked the piano was = formerly owned by a hot jazz pianist.10. There is an elaborate table = cloth which would indicate a decorative art case.11. There is one = orange pumpkin gourd which would suggest a padded stool instead of a = bench. The stem however could be interpreted as an adjustable artist = bench.12. There are two other gourds in a shadow which represent the = audience. One is green which would mean that either the quality of the = playing or the music itself is discontenting to some listeners.13. The = other remaining gourd is in three different colors meaning that at least = two thirds of the audience is enjoying the performance to varying = degrees.14. This last gourd also has an extra long curly stem which = would suggest that the audience members feel some sort of personal = connection with the pianist, thus explaining why they have a higher = appreciation for the music.15. There are no plates, forks, or serving = utensils. Apparently a number of expected guests could not make the = performance.16. The entire photograph is printed on glossy paper. This = means it is a low-end piano with a high-gloss finish.17. It is on the = Journal cover indicating that some unfortunate technician had to contend = with this piano earlier in the day.18. Since it is the November issue = it is fair to assume that it is a holiday recital. Okay there you have = it. The hidden meaning behind this month's PTG Journal cover. Did I = miss anything?
