Dear List,

Thanks so much for the input on the Haddorff piano.  I neglected to say in
the original message that it was a Vertichord (whatever that was supposed to
mean :-) ).

The piano had not been tuned in "years" according to the curator of the
Historical Society, yet the piano was only 10 cents flat from A440 in the
middle section.  Someone mentioned that they were stable--is it possible to
be this stable for many years??

I thought the case was really nice.  Very attractive, and good woodworking.
Some mentioned the unusual design of the case...it was that, for sure.  A
little bit of headscratching to get it apart.  The ivory work was really
good, too.  Someone took pride in his work, and it was gratifying to see
that.  I always enjoy seeing good, older pianos which demonstrate quality
craftmanship.  (I like seeing newer ones, too, but the older unusual pianos
are neat. <grin>)

Anyway, the owners did not want to spend the money to do "everything" just
now, so probably will get to regulate and tune, glue loose ivories...minor
stuff.  Looking forward to it!

Best to all,

John Formsma
