Plangent

Plangent can mean "sorrowful" or it can mean "loud" and in this case it means "loud," as in "smash all the keys on the piano at once." "Loud enough to startle Amos into launching his bow across the room." Which is louder, her keyboard banging or her yodeling there?

Because I'm a dork I keep wondering if this is a flashback to her and Amos being younger (but still adults), if this is present time but she's grown her hair out, or if McEldowney has stopped keeping track of silly trifles like that.
