Bad Tenor/Bass Scale Break?

[Farrell]

I'll do what I can Ron. Happy to help out. I'm going shopping with the wife
today for a good digital camera. I will be visiting this piano again in a
week or so. I will take a photo. I will do my best getting a good overhead
shot, but I don't think the lady/owner will approve of laying a plank on top
of piano and standing on it. I realize that would be the way to get a
relatively un-skewed/distorted shot, but.......we'll see.

I'll let ya know. This was truely - by far - THE most offensive sounding
bass/tenor break I have ever heard!
