specifically the Hamilton and Wurlitzer uprights. I have especially liked the tone of the ones made (I think) in the 50s through 70s. Also, I have played a light wood color Hamilton probably made in the 60s or 70s (don't know the serial number so I have no way of dating it) several times, and it has pretty good tone in the bass for its size (almost as good as my 56" Ricca & Son). If I ever was going to get an upright smaller than 52" or 48", it would be a used 45" Baldwin Hamilton (I WOULD like to get one of these someday), a 42" Wurlitzer 2270 series, or a 37" Wurlitzer 1170 series. I also would like to be able to try out the Wurlitzer WP-60 someday. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
