Sara, you have depicted what a gifted person can do with musical instruments. I'm glad I stopped by for a read. I gave an old upright piano to my brother-in-law years ago, and in delivering it to him it turned over and fell out of the pickup. It suffered bruises but still made beautiful music. Thanks for commenting on my Tangled Webs James

Sara, a piano is just an instrument until it receives the masterful touch of a gifted musician. Well said! Hope your crystalline is a winner, dear. Love, Carolyn
