tuning pin lubricant/piano launcher

[Z! Reinhardt]

Has anyone thought of deliberate piano implosion?  That's right -
deliberately weaken the structure, and finish the job with some carefully
placed explosives, thereby using the energy from the string tension to cause
the piano to fold up on itself with a minimum of flying parts.  If done
properly, the pieces would be conveniently small enough to fit into
conventional trash barrels.

This idea occured to me as I drove around the site of a housing project
implosion last spring, marvelling at how neatly the remains of the buildings
were piled together.

Time to build a piano launcher.
Destroyed. Do not contaminate the block with anything.


One fine day we are going to build that piano
launcher and bring it to Fort Henry to bury
it in a watery grave.
