hammer billings flange

[Horace Greeley]

Eliot,

I don't know for sure about the Stieff, but most of the Pease pianos I saw
years ago did have Billings flanges.

There were several posts on this subject recently.  You might want to
search the list digests.  Several folks had good advice.

Good luck, with instruments that old, you might want to go in ready for
heavy going.

Best.

Horace
