<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>I have been reading this ongoing
exchange. This is disgusting, and I do<br>
NOT mean the technicians who have to put up with it. I mean the
people<br>
doing it and asking for it. Thumbtacks in the hammers - screws
wedged<br>
between the strings - and things like that.<br><br>
If they want stuff like that, why don't they do something like my son and
I<br>
did some 25 years ago. We recorded one of his "pieces of
music" (#?!*@&!)<br>
played on an old upright with a split back and busted plate. It was
a real<br>
hoot! The piano was ready for the junk pile anyway.<br><br>
But to take a fine piano and bugger it up by poking it full of junk is
too<br>
much. Don't our universities have better things to do?<br><br>
