Hello! I have recently bougth a Schweighofer grand made in Vienna around 1870 (date is not certain, serial number is 3326). it has parallel strings and some metal bars and a hitch pin plate, no cast iron plate. The most unusual thing about this piano is it's action, which is not Viennese, as I would have expected from a piano made in Vienna long ago. It has a type of English action with a device that works like the repetition lever in a modern action. you can see pictures of it here: http://calintantareanu.tripod.com/piano/schweighofer/index.htm Have you seen this kind of action before? What's the name of it? I would also need some info regarding regulation. Any special procedures? I would also like to hear more about the history of this piano maker, if anybody knows. Many thanks, Calin Tantareanu ---------------------------------------------------- http://calintantareanu.tripod.com ----------------------------------------------------
