Hauling a large piece of furniture around to house a K2500 is pretty
amazing.

I guess it gets rid of tuning and miking problems, but that's quite a lot of
wood to haul. It looked like it was at least 7'!

Thanks for solving that mystery, had never seen Kurzweil on the side of a
grand piano before.

Next week look for Jimmy Smith playing a pair of CX3s embedded in a B3
cabinet!
