BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally someone with eyes and a brain! That's it for sure!!!  And the  
color in the photo is deceiving - it's not pinkish-red, it is FIRE- 
ENGINE RED!

Sure, the uneven wire wrapping will cause a little bit of sonic  
disturbance, but I'm quite sure that the intense red-spectrum light  
rays are causing major disturbances to the upper bass sound waves.  
Compounding this phenomena is the tendency of the red-spectrum light  
rays to actually AMPLIFY the small sonic disturbances inherent to the  
messed-up strings.

Good call Ron.

I knew that piano was trouble the minute I first laid my eyes on it.

PS: John F - I really, really appreciate your willingness to provide  
input into this technical discussion, but did you have a really long  
day yesterday? Lighten up buddy! It's a joke!  ;-)
