Good comeback David.

But you know, I'm just tired of it all. This just seems like so much idiocy to me.

Regards,
Jim

When students bring up the idea of being able to practice on the concert grand I ask them if there's a practice room piano that they would choose for their recital.  Then I say, if you all practice on the concert piano it will become another practice piano in the same condition as the ones you now use.  I can't keep the practice room pianos in concert ready condition, and certainly can't keep the concert grand in that condition if they are beating it 24/7.
