Avoiding such activities whenever possible is bound to give one a rounder tone, though measureably more sluggish action. Inertia, being loosely defined as resistance to change, can be a fairly accurate descriptor of piano technicians in general, but especially so after having over-consumed at the Christmas table. The force required to overcome the inertia of the piano tech in a state of rest is inversely proportional to the bank balance of PT in question, multiplied by the leverage applied by the spouse of said individual. Therefore, the MOI may be defined as the point in time when the piano tech is ejected from his/her state of torpidity trying to decide who really are the champions in the pletohora of bowl games, tools in hand, into the cold, harsh reality of the January air. This may be encouraged by a wipp assist from afore-mentioned spouse. The tax man cometh!
