[pianotech] WNG Action parts

Peter  Schikele in his persona of P.D.Q Bach uses a whirled hose in one of
his pieces. I will need to check which.

Some years ago houses in my street got new roughcast (a coating on top of
brickwork, not sure what it's call in the US).  It was autumn and breezy
and the wind produced lovely eerie notes,  blowing across the tops of the
tubular scaffold poles of various lengths.


Best regards,

David Boyce
