[CAUT] Newton Hunt's piano bench

[Barbara Richmond]

These things happen--I've posted whole letters on the other list (nothing juicy, thank God.). 

As a piano student, I remember being instructed to rest my left foot back under the bench. I guess I carried that posture to piano tuning, too--really noticing it the time I tuned in a place that was so cluttered, there was a path to the piano and music was piled up under the bench. My left foot kept hitting the pile of music. It was uncomfortable and annoying--especially when I couldn't move the bench to tune the treble.

Boy is my face red. Besides the misspelling, I had actually meant that to 
be a private post. Stan was my mentor at one time.
