[pianotech] Innaugaral tuning events

[Elwood Doss]

I understood it was an Obama event and it was a string quartet that
couldn't keep their instruments in tune so it was pre-recorded.  I think
there was a piano and soloist involved also.
Joy!

And I understand it was pre-recorded so what was broadcast wasn't live.
