[pianotech] Prepared frickin'piano and damaged bass strings (going OT)

[Terry Beckingham]

What if that instrument is the only performance piano available at the 
venue or institution? It is now out of service until repairs can be made. 
Sorry Ed. I can't agree with you. True, it is only my opinion that this 
type of thing is not music, but that is definitely my opinion. Others may 
like it. I do not.
