Well, it *could* be that budding musicians would have been turned off, =
but if there is really that drive or passion to play, even a spinet in =
reasonable repair would do--for a while, anyway.  No, it's not ideal, =
but talent combined with the passion to play is hard to stop. =20

Of course, there's always the claim, "Our piano sounds different than =
the piano teacher's piano!"  I laugh at that now, not only because I'm a =
tech and know there can be lots of reasons for the difference in sound, =
but also because we're the ones with the Steinway grand and the teacher =
has the Yamaha console........(sort of reminds me of coming off of =
maternity leave and practicing tuning my Steinway to get ready to go out =
and tune a Kimball spinet.)
