I've tuned many a Lester in my short career. Too many, I'd have to sa=
y. Today, there I was, sitting once again at a Lester, banging on tho=
se waterfall keys, attempting to make it sound like a piano when I looked up=
, and on the underside of the lid was a decal which stated, "Endorsed by the=
Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra".<BR>
<BR>
Whaaa?<BR>
<BR>
This is like the US Olympic Track and Field Team endorsing PAYLESS SHOES.&nb=
sp; <BR>
<BR>
Or the Nobel Peace Prize Committee awarding Yassar Arafat the Nobel Peace Pr=
ize. (Oh...wait...that actually happened...heh, heh)<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, how could this be true? Was anyone around back then (this pia=
no dated to the 40s, I'd say)<BR>
who could tell me how this could happen? <BR>
<BR>
I do have a theory, though. Perhaps it's because you can refer to eit=
her the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra OR Lester pianos by the initials: PS=
O!<BR>
