PIANO BAR - LUNCHEON MENU
Post by Colin Nicholson »
Hi Guys, I couldnt resist showing you this! An ex - pupil of mine recently bought a piano on ...... you know where? .... yes.... starts with E and ends with Y !!
Bought it completely BLIND.... not even a photo of it on the main screen - but he 'liked the description' !!!! Its a 1980's Waldstein ...... sounds not too bad, one or broken treble strings, and 3 broken bass strings (from the bi-chords) .... action a bit 'clicky' .... I think you know what is coming! ??
He invited me to look over it (normally, its a 'can you tune my piano please') - but this time, rather hesitant and sheepish. OK.... I went out there with my breathing apparatus on, and bee - keeping outfit!
OH YES...... a beauty! .... RIDDLED completely with insect & arachnid damage - the full monte! Well, just for a laugh, after we discussed 'what they like to dine on' - we came up with a MENU!! (this is just the starter by the way!!)
Here is a selection of the fine cuisine menu these spiders had for lunch .....
LUNCHEON MENU
STARTER
Flame grilled peppered brown cushion felt
String of spaghetti voicing cloth
Sauted Leather gnash (made that bit up!)
Minted front rail 7mm baize washers

Anyone - any suggestions! ??

Loved it Colin.
(I note that there's no mention of having swilled it down with a delicate and subtle mouse's urine white wine).....
Bonne appétit!

I was playing the piano in a zoo, when the elephant burst into tears. I said, "Don't you recognize the tune?" He replied, "No, I recognize the ivories!"
