Yup, us piano pickers can set down at a junk heap of a piano, play it with 
half the keys not working, out of tune, peddles not working, keys sticky 
from the drunk trombone player spilling beer on it, and make it sound good.

I'd like to see a trombone player play his trombone under the same 
conditions...
