<BR>Hey, we've almost worked our way back to pianos here: food fight, =
drinks and furniture flying, maybe even a piano tipped over!
<BR>
<BR>This brings to mind the most hideously abused piano I've ever seen. &nbs=
p;It was an S and S, probably a model M, in a frat house at Stanford. =
The pinblock, strings and soundboard were covered with dried beer, cigarette=
s, and various food items. I was contracted to move the piano out of t=
here for possible rebuild. The kicker was the back leg(pun intended), =
which had been snapped off and replaced by an empty beer keg! It WAS t=
he right height....:-(
