Hello to all, Presently I am working on a Chickering Bros. 6' Gr. piano. It needs new pin-block, strings and hammers. On the soundingboard there is decal that describes the warranty and a disclaimer to Chickering & Sons in Boston. Aparently Chickering Bros. pianos were made in Chicago. It also refers to "Acoustigrande". At the brake between the bass and tenor tuning pins the writing is: "Duplex Scale", and below it Scale B-2. On the agraffe the writing is: "impoved Capo Dastro bar with "Equalizing Lug" device patented May 19 1908". BTW the serial number is 14918. I presume it was built in 1917-18. Any information will be greatly appreciated on this instrument, especially a reference to [Scale B-2 and "Equalizing Lug" device]. Thanks, George Takats
