Hardman Minipiano (ugh!)

 From the descriptions so far, I don't ever want to meet one. 
But consider this; these things were *built* by someone. I 
picture the accused standing before the judge as the gavel 
falls and the sentence is imposed at two years time served in 
the Hardman-Peck correctional institution assembling and 
*regulating* Minipianos as penance for crimes against humanity 
in the New York area. Oh death, please, death!

So far, I've made it about 30 years without having to do a 
full regulation on even a relatively "normal" spinet. I can't 
imagine what these beasties are like. I know there are jacks 
down there somewhere because I can hear them laughing. I just 
can't see them or reach them.

Shudder,
