Our piano is very old.

The Eugene piano guy is here fixing our piano. As Tracy said, it's like a John Cage symphony, but in the end we get a working piano instead of a lost feeling. Apparently the manufacturers and people who did serious work on a piano used to sign the first key (lowest bass note). Our piano needed a lot of love - it was last regulated at purchase time...

The signature of the main man - found on the first key of our piano. Heintzman himself had some sort of hand in its production!
