It only seems natural that the closest thing to time travel is the
auditory experience of listening to a musical selection performed
exactly as it was a century ago.  Music is a very important factor
in our lives.

I tuned a piano for a customer and when finished, I played what
came to mind which was "When Smoke Gets in your Eyes" and noticed
the elderly customer crying.  He confessed that it was his departed
wife's favorite song.

Music was the stimulus for many feelings with energy "stored" in
them.  An intact library with an original instrument gives a person
a personal look into the times and life of the original owner.  Now
with this information -- kids are not interested -- I think here is
something that could get anyone's interest.

I was at a friend's house and he had a Red Welte Vorsetzer installed
in front of his Chickering square grand piano playing a piece period
to the time of the construction of his house (1855).  While the piano
played I scanned my camcorder around the room doing close-ups of the
furniture and architectural elements, including the gas operating
light fixtures.  Everything was as it was in 1855.

As the music was concluding I filmed into the mirror.  The camcorder
did not know to stop but kept going further into the looking glass to
the light fixture and then for almost three seconds, the most amazing
thing appeared...

Have any of you ever experienced anything "unusual" with any of your
instruments?   Who knows, we could start our own Ghost Hunters Show:
Pneumatic Wheezes!
