Ron, I agree. It's hard to teach respect when this professor is espousing his "anything should be allowed for the sake of composition" rhetoric. When I show the discolored strings it's "next time we'll have them wash their hands." Oh well, maybe I should just ask for $1,500.00 to restring the Bosendorfer. Money tends to talk loudly. Jim Seems to me the message ought to be "This is not your piano to deface or damage on your whim", however obtusely and inoffensively worded. People may indeed be unaware of the potential for damage (however uncommon sense may be), but they all should have at least been taught some respect for the considerably expensive property of others. That's all I wanted. Back to the cheap seats. Ron N
