<div> </div>
<div>The worst case of school piano abuse was actually a Steinway in a frat house at Stanford University. I wish I'd had a camera. The soundboard was basically gooey with beer swill, the tuning pins were coated in black muck, many strings were broken. I was just there to move it at the time, so pulling the action wasn't in my agenda. But the thing that made moving a bit difficult was that the rear leg was missing, having long since replaced by a beer keg. Pretty good height match, though it wasn't attached so well.</div>
