This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran a huge article, today, called = "Celebrating the Perfect Instrument." Seems the Mu Phi Epsilon people, = and others, are sponsoring concerts (ragtime, classical, jazz ...) and = contests and an awards dinner, etc., all in celebration of the piano. = The article, in the Arts & Entertainment section front page, above the = fold, has an 11" color photo of a S&S D, from above with the lid = removed. Okay. Fine. I'm all for it--especially this line "Although we're a long = way from the days when virtually all the children in those [middle = class] homes took piano lessons, enrollments are increasing these days, = and many teachers have waiting lists for openings in their studios." But here's the REEEEEALLY GOOD NEWS!!! "As any parent of a budding string player can testify, there are real = advantages to the piano, such as tuning issues: The piano doesn't have = any." So there ya go. What is all this chatter about temperaments, ETDs, = inharmonicity, etc? For Heaven's sake, the Post has just declared that = pianos have no tuning issues! Let's go fishing! Alan R.
