Currier pianos

[Kwkeys@AOL.COM]

I beleive that this model of Currier had what they called a "stratophonic 
string panel" or some similar name. As you have described, there is a face 
plate of steel over the cast iron plate. These would sometimes come loose 
from the plate and push forward against the strings. The only remedy is to 
loosen the tension on the strings, drill through the face plate, drill and 
tap holes in the plate. and bolt the panel back to the plate. If I recall 
correctly, 6-8 bolts (1/4" dia) would suffice. After the repair, the piano 
would be a sufficient instrument for the normal home application.

Hope this helps.
