Whenever I am out on the town and invited to a home that serves up
beautiful musical sounds, captured on music roll and transmitted by a
reproducing piano, I usually adhere to the following "tipping schedule".

If the host plays all serious classical piano compositions, I up my tip
by 10%.  I deduct 10% from the below schedule if I am subjected to loud
and musically dead "popular" rolls with lots of notes and little true
piano magic.

Tipping schedule, pianos:
    grands under 6-foot: ten cents a tune,
    grands over 6-foot:  twenty cents a tune.

If the piano performing is a Steinway, the rates are twenty cents and
forty cents, respectively.  The tip rate for modern "reproducing pianos"
is far less.

Does anyone else have a different tipping rate for grands?
