---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Jack, I have serviced two but can only recall where one of them is at the moment. James & Holmstrom full upright, serial number 15501, built around 1909. I haven't seen the piano for three years, so I don't remember all the specifics, but it had about 88 keys. It would transpose two 1/2-steps either way. The action was constructed without any breaks for the action brackets to keep the stickers evenly spaced throughout, and the whole keyboard would move sideways with a wheel under the keybed so the capstan screw would operate the neighboring sticker. There is a little indicator needle that shows which position the keyboard is in. I made a mistake the first time I tuned this piano in 1992. It was about 15 cents sharp, which surprised me, so I lowered it to pitch. Only later did I realize the keyboard was shifted one position, so technically the piano was 85 cents flat, but I never changed it. The transposing feature has not been in operating condition as long as I've been serving the piano.
