Ft. Worth Piano Tuners
The Ft. Worth Piano Tuners are a Golly team from Ft. Worth, Texas. The Piano Tuners are known for their inability to keep a tune, hold a note, or keep time to even the most basic beat. They are also famous for being completely unaware of their own musical inabilities. Despite setting an as-yet unbroken record for most wins in a season (32) in Season 2, the Ft. Worth Piano Tuners are Partytime specialists, reaching partytime first in their league more often than any other team.

Logo and Art
The Artists Union was commissioned to make a poster for the Ft. Worth Piano Tuners after their Season 14 League Division Series victory over the Baltimore Texas. Unfortunately, no one in the Artists Union was aware that no players on the Ft. Worth Piano Tuners have any musical talent whatsoever.
When the poster was unveiled to the team, most of them stood and stared at it, confused. A few asked what "sight reading" was. Fortunately no artists were present for the unveiling. It was a sordid affair all around.
