The contestants were in Warsaw Poland as part of the game they had to find a single string on a unison left flat and tune it on a grand . Once this was done a someone would play a little Chopin and determine if the tuning was okay for them to proceed. About 3 or 4 strings got broken during this segment by different contestants. The tuner replacing the strings didn't seem very happy towards the end.</DIV> <DIV>  </DIV> <DIV> Wayne Walker Piano Tuner / Technician Musicstop Acoustic Piano Service 264 Herring Cove Road Halifax, NS, Canada B3P 1M1 902-221-1540 902-496-0041 Fax <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.musicstop.com/" target=_blank>www.musicstop.com </A></DIV>   <DIV style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"> <DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center> <HR align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </DIV></DIV> I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
