Is it real or a toy Baby Grand?

[Steve Grattan]

Hi Ken,

I have restored and completely rebuilt two of these and they continue to
please the customers.  They have a terrible tone - very shrill - even with
soft hammers.  They are Recordo mechanisms - an expression mechanism as
opposed to a reproducer.  Kind of fun - but would be hard to sell.  Good
luck!
