Character mistake: After Ethel chooses the ladies who'll play instruments for their own orchestra, Fred enters the Ricardo apartment with muffs over his ears as off-key plucky piano is heard in the background, indicating Ethel is playing very badly, when in all prior episodes she played fluently for any of their show warm-up numbers.
