  1. #Study from Sep '25 claims they've proven that #pianists can alter #timber, #brightness, w/ how they play (the #percussion #instrument by pressing keys).
    But for all its wordiness, they never describe a single #technique used, they never discuss what they saw w/ all those cameras. They don't say what #music they used or its complexity, how the #listeners heard it (was it #recorded? #live in the room?).
    Put simply: I don't believe them (& I'm a pianist).

  6. 🎹 🔫 Hey! What’s going on? Is this why the book’s called Don’t Shoot the Piano Tuner?
    MS Harker is finishing up the piano rebuild at Frankie’s Jazz Club today. Not sure if this will be a chapter in the book about the “secret life of pianos,” but I’m hoping.
