The first convention I went to many years ago I heard Bob Haywood tell a
funny (and not true) story about short notice concert tunning that had to be
done between the stage hands setting up and the violins tunning up for the
concert. (about 15 minutes). To make a long story short the tunner checked
that the legs were on solid, the lid hinges were tight, the lid prop was
sound, and the bench didn't wobble. He then went home and sent in his bill.
