And while we seem to be moving in that general direction, a "mia" culpa might be a reference to Mia Farrow... More on point, while "ti" is found fairly often in online postings (Facebook, etc), "te" is more traditional usage. That said, I'm definitely neither a Latin scholar or a scholar of Latin. I've only learned enough to get through administering the basic Rites without making a complete fool of myself. So far, it's been very useful in various chaplaincy settings when different Rites may be asked for and there are no Roman clergy available. Getting back to more piano-related stuff, and, picking up where we left off above, perhaps, when examining the damper heads on a more modern piano (or one of questionable origin), one might be tempted to exclaim something along the lines of: "...it's hard to be sure, but whatever these damper heads may be made of, it apPEARs to be wood...". baDUM! Best. Horace
