While I don't always write it myself I appreciate finding the date &
pitch written on the side or the top of the first key (with a paper
pencil).

Not very classy but it stay where it is for sure.

Enough place for a fair amount of years.

What I don't like is the voicing alphabet leaved on every other key,
while the pencil allow fore more information and work on lateral
position, slant, string mating, crown or base needling at the same
time , and that makes for a very efficient and fast tone regulation,
the signs are there to be erased after IMO.


Best to all.
