(A card is OK, I guess) I don't like scribbling on pianos, either, especially grands. I sometimes (not often) leave a record by pasting a business card (a dot of white glue under each corner) on the underside of the music desk. If I see other recent records in an upright, I sometimes glue my card next to the them, especially if I've done some repairs. Why do it at all? Well -- what can I say? It's fun. In the future, people will know how the piano was kept, and in the distant future, they'll probably enjoy finding a yellowed old card from a previous century ... like when we find bits of Yiddish newspapers used as paper keypunchings, or cardboards from French cigarette packages used to shim up the balance rail. It can also indicate in which region a piano lived, which can be helpful. Susan
