Le demi-queue Paulello

[Stéphane Collin]

Hi Michael, hi Conrad (nice to read you : as always, well informed about our
sweet langage)

I have to admit that Anglo-Saxon culture has proven to be some more poetical
about piano designations than the French one.
But noone would joke about giving a kiss to a baby grand, and expect it to
change into a charming prince.  I have to admit also that I didn't try this
myself, as I never had a baby grand (yet).

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin

p.s. : and no, it doesn't work with larger models.
