When I use the bathrooms at the University, I notice that about a third ( not really 50% ) of the guys do not wash their hands before they leave. I usually chew them out, and they come back to the sinks, but not always. The practice rooms here have 1.5 million$ in new Steinways. After only 5 years they are filthy and, yes, they stink. Some severely. Playing on them is disgusting, largely because of this. I recommended to the head of the piano dept. that simple signs be put in the rooms insisting that users wash immediately before practicing. He said they wouldn't, because they didn't want to "insult" anyone! SCREW THAT! If you don't have enough sense to wash your hands before touching a $60,000 piano, even if it IS only a Steinway, you shouldn't be a piano major. You should be back in kindergarten.
