That piano looks more than just dead -- it's decomposing. My first inclination is to say that practicing rebuilding skills on that would be like practicing surgical techniques on an animal that had been dead in the gutter for about a month. Rebuilders -- am I right in assuming that the best candidates for shop skills practice are those that had aged gracefully and are simply worn out? At least there would not be the levels of corrosion and corruption to interfere with the practice efforts as there is in the graphics provided by Mr. Airy. Z!
