Just something I happened to see among the letters to the editor of the Musical Times of May 1960:

"A 'Decrepit' Piano for Chopin"

"What, one wonders, was the point of using, during that rather ridiculous Chopin orgy over the air recently, a decrepit kettle of an instrument merely because Chopin himself had once used it, when, presumably it was still a musical instrument and not a long-since worn-out ruin? The dampers and damper pedal plainly didn't act properly and the instrument wasn't even in tune.

KAIKHOSRU SHAPURJI SORABJI, Corfe Castle, Dorset."

[I am very tempted to insert a comma after the word "presumably" to match the one before it, but in the end have reproduced the letter exactly as printed.]
