Tone Production by the Pianist

[Ray Diederichsen]

I have a good friend who was playing piano in a restaurant. It was a very, 
very old beat-up Kimball grand that had about everything wrong with it that 
could be wrong. It was miserable to tune, etc., etc. and I was not happy. My 
friend was there at the time and I made him take an oath that he wouldn't 
tell anyone who had tuned and worked on the piano. Of course there was no 
budget for repairs.

After finishing I went to use the restroom and when I came back he was 
playing and I couldn't believe it was the same piano. It sounded pretty darn 
good. So maybe there really is something to this "Tone Production by the 
Pianist" thing in my humble opinion.

My 2 cents worth,
Ray Diederichsen
