You insist that if anyone is doing prepared piano music, they have to  
use the worn out L from a practice room.

Somehow, someway, we must educate musicians that the people who wrote  
this stuff were not aware that it causes damage to pianos.

Only problem here is, they know my aversion to the practice and do  
what they want to without telling anyone, tearing up the pianos in  
the process.
