<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I remember visiting a friend =
who was
interested to hear a piece I had been working on. I played it =
for her --
on her spinet. The piano was apparently well tuned and =
maintained.
But as I was trying to play the thing, trying to eek more out of it =
with each
crescendo -- and as the keys were effortlessly bottoming and the =
piano
just WOULD NOT put out anything more -- well, there were a
few colorful phrases floating around in my head at the time =
to
describe the fine instrument I was playing. I'm sure the piano =
would
have been great for the average 4-year old, but for me, there was a =
pretty
awful impedance matching problem. (And yes, I realize there were =
also
limitations from the longitudinally challenged strings and the
short-of-stature soundboard.)</FONT></DIV>
