Restoration of pre-1900 6+ ft. grand

[JWyatt1492@AOL.COM]

Hello Scott, again !!!

  After reading  your post again at this point
my guess is that you may have a 6ft. or so
 "Knabe".  They built a large number of 
pianos this size that had three bridges 
(three levels of wires) in rosewood art case.  
However there was one wing shaped piano 
that did indeed have four bridges. It was a 
small grand built by  "Francis Bacon". Then 
there was the Sq. piano that was built in 1937 
by Gulbransen that had five levels of wire. 
Neither of the latter were very good but the 
Knabe was a good piano and  well worth 
rebuilding. The screw in damper wires offers 
very little problem.    
  Let us know.

Regards,
