Ah, what's in a name? Here in the tiny berg of Salem, Missouri we have =
the
Salem Philharmonic.

It's a guy named Phil who plays the harmonica.

And remember, Story & Clark has the (exclusive!) Harmi-Tone action. Woo.

List

I've tuned many a Lester in my short career.  Too many, I'd have to say.
Today, there I was, sitting once again at a Lester, banging on those
waterfall keys, attempting to make it sound like a piano when I looked =
up,
and on the underside of the lid was a decal which stated, "Endorsed by =
the
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra".

Whaaa?

This is like the US Olympic Track and Field Team endorsing PAYLESS =
SHOES. =20

Or the Nobel Peace Prize Committee awarding Yassar Arafat the Nobel =
Peace
Prize.  (Oh...wait...that actually happened...heh, heh)

Anyway, how could this be true?  Was anyone around back then (this piano
dated to the 40s, I'd say)
who could tell me how this could happen? =20

I do have a theory, though.  Perhaps it's because you can refer to =
either
the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra OR Lester pianos by the initials: =
PSO!
