Video of the oldest piano store in Paris. Just goes to show ... you’ve got to near-destroy things to put ‘em back together again properly. Not for the faint-of-heart.

That’s our era, though, Emmett. I used to, as a boy, collect junked spark plugs, carburetors and valve covers with the intent of someday “building a robot.”

I also just noticed. Good thing I didn’t miss a space in that title ... “La MerDe Pianos” ... I’m choking laughing over the possibility.
