Acrosonic puzzler

[TOM DRISCOLL]

Phil,
    Try a 36oz. Louisille Slugger .
Seriously , I've been mystified  at some of these designs.I almost gave up 
on a late 40's Wurlie spinet last week.
    To quote Yogi,:
"You can observe a lot by looking"
    Quiet your thoughts, forget last nights ninth inning ---where the Yanks 
lost to the Tigers-BECOME  the piano case and the solution will appear.You 
can do it Grasshopper .
