Yahoo! News Story - Self-Tuning Piano Set to Make Sweet Music

[Otto Keyes]

TERROR ON THE TUNING FRONT!!!
Stretchit & Clunk hatches dastardly plan to put all tuners out of business,
thereby silencing the nefarious slanderers of a venerable piano firm which
would have otherwise challenged the supremacy of the hated "S" company &
other despised, world-renowned, percussion stringed instrument companies.
"We could have been a real Bozo, had it not been for those guys!", the S&S
president declared in an off-camera interview, at a secluded sight guarded
by a cadre of apoplectic militia men.  "The world will finally be put right
& be made safe for good old American mediocrity.", he claimed.

:)  Had this thing been around at the time John Cage started throwing nuts &
bolts in pianos, it might have changed the whole course of music history.
He might only have been a smoldering staccato note on the treble clef of
life -- a brief shock to the musical world.  What a shame for musicologists
that would have been.  Nothing provides more work than trying to find the
point in a caucophonic composition.

Where was Gilmore when we really needed him?!   :)
