Porritt ><mailto:dporritt@smu.edu>dporritt@smu.edu Absatively posalutely! Then there are the ones who did the folding back leg trick to a Baldwin R (5'8"). Three days later(after the weekend) the tech crew (good friends) in that building phoned and said I should come and take a look at the piano. Found piano with that end of piano sitting on a chair, leg tucked under carcase and music from the "activity" still on the music rack - bench in corner of room. I suppose it was easier to play standing up with the keyboard at that angle. Oh! Did I mention the "do not move" sign found on the floor of the room the piano _had_ been in? Temporary illiteracy strikes again. Grrrr Conrad Hoffsommer It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object realize that you are in a hurry.
