Laurence - Note

Nigel tapped Middle C again.

Still nothing.

He lifted the green piano's lid and checked the striker and the wire. Everything worked fine.

But he didn't hear anything when he hit Middle C.

B played. D played. Every other note played.

But not Middle C.

Nigel blew out the candelabra and hit Middle C again.

Of course it wasn't that, he thought. That would have been silly.

Nigel tried another piano. Middle C worked just fine.

He went back to the green piano, lifted the lid, and plucked Middle C.

Perfectly tuned.

He hit the key again.

Nothing at all.
