I know nothing about pianos so I just want to clarify the metaphor of the car without an oil change. I just rebuilt the engine in my truck. A neglected engine does not spell the end for a vehicle - but it seems to be that that is in fact the case for a neglected piano. Is that true?

A neglected engine does not spell the end for a vehicle - but it seems to be that that is in fact the case for a neglected piano. Well, you could always disassemble the piano, replace the strings, tuning pegs, and possibly the soundboard, and put it back together, but what you really have is a new piano in an old case, much like if you completely rebuilt the mechanical parts of a car but kept the original body.

  The audacity! How dare you suggest my truck is just a shell of its former self! Next you'll probably claim it doesn't have feelings too.

    Please don't anthropomorphize your vehicles. They hate it when you do that.
