Folks,
I had a wonderful tuning experience on Friday. A Steinway model C serial =
No. 105173. Pierce shows it to be a 1902. I note that there are dates of =
discontinuance for the model A and the model O but nothing for the model =
C. Does anyone know how long Steinway produced that model here in the =
US? Why it was discontinued?

Aside from a strange type of false beat (very faint) in the higher =
treble (looks like uneven lengths of wire for each unison) the piano was =
absolutely beautiful, both in an aural and visual sense. I believe the =
style is a Louis XV, done in Mahogany, rewhatevered done by Washburn =
Pianos in Phoenix. Looks like a new board, but hard to tell about the =
bridge. Everything clean and shiny. Nice work by those people. Anyone =
know of the names of the craftsmen or if they associate with the list?

What think ye about the model C, I don't recall see that model discussed =
much on this list? Give me more of this piano type!
