Thereby insuring surpassed tonal stability. At the time these keyboarded 
artifacts were being sold, I wondered how the Mezzo-Thermoneal 
Stabilizer marketing fit the fact that the artifacts themselves went out 
of tune farther, faster, and for more years than anything else out 
there, including the marvelous(y) non-MTS'd American Craftsman made 
artifacts from Aeolian, Grand, Stark, Poole, Gulbransen, and a few 
others the years have mercifully erased from memory.
