      Is it my bad hearing or is that piano way out of tune?

        Just a wild guess, it could be the equipment, assuming it was magnetic tape, the record and play (or convert to digital) speeds could be slightly off

          It’s out of tune with itself so it’s not just a recording artifact.

                Wow . . . I'd say that was more than mildly interesting, wouldn't you?

                    Yes, it looks like an 18th or 19th century neo-Gothic folly.

                      As interesting, if not more, is Göbekli Tepe, which has archeologists stumped.

                      It is a fully formed neolithic temple, which somewhat predates any stone founded city, and has no indication of the sort of human habitation needed to organize, build, and service a temple cultus. It seems to have been built by hunter-gathers (pre village, pre agrarian), who yet had 3 dimensional plastic art form of animals carved out of stone, rather than petroglyphs which were carved into stone.

                      10,000 year old art -- for reference these are more than twice as old as the Pyramids at Giza.

                          Speaking of VW's. My family had a 1957 (or '58) VW. It had no fuel gauge, rather an auxiliary tank. You had to keep track of how far you had driven since the last fill up to know when to gas up.

                          You did have an auxiliary fuel tank, with a gallon's capacity.

                          That changed in 1962 with a real gas gauge.
