That would sure be nice, wouldn't it? With the humidity control in the 
institutions I've seen, most students get at most about two weeks a year on 
pianos in relatively decent tune. They never have a chance. I guess if they 
want support, they should be going out for football or basketball in the 
first place.

Bummer.
