Amusing tortures for "pianos"

[Newton Hunt]

No, the students won because they had a cheap piano and the techs
had an expensive piano.  The cheap piano fell apart with just a
couple of blows from a sledge hammer.  The glue joints of the
expensive piano were so good it took a lot more time to break them
apart.  It was most cathartic.
