KIMBALL

[Newton Hunt]

Thanks, it is good to be back, although I am hoping to retrun to Cuba
soon.

Kimballs were originally made is Chicago which was a very competative
market around the turn of the century.  Kimball make very good pianos
then.  They were not in the league with S&S or M&H, but they were quite
good instruments.  There small grands are very rebuildable.

Unfortunately they used brass flanges on the dampers and brass butt
plates in their uprights which makes them more difficult to work on.
