Mystery high notes

Odd enough to find a piano dumped near the top of Ben Nevis. Odd still to have two different people claiming they put it there. First, strongman Kenny Campbell who has made a career taking items up to and down from Ben Nevis the last 30-odd years for charity. He claimed it was the church organ he had carried up there in 1971 to play 'Scotland th Brave' at the peak. Now a group of removal men say that they took the piano up 20 years ago for a charity stunt. They had meant to bring it down again, but ran out of breath! Seems like climbers need to watch out for a variety of musical hazards when ascending the mountain as there's supposed to be brass instruments and even a drum kit up there as well, somewhere!
