Wing & Sons are marvelous pianos and exemplify some of the finest uprights ever built. Many W & Ss have sever pedals. At least one would operate a rinky tink, and one for a mute rail. There were other devices available but I'm not sure if I can name them with any accuracy They generally involved some limited kinds of string contact to change the tone or intentionally create buzzes or sympathetic vibrations. I would really like to rebuild a Wing someday and I tried to secure one a few years ago. It was in a storage area owned by a dealer and in spite that I had requested it be held for me I later discovered that it had been thrown out. No one volunteered for the responsibility. A very sad waste and oversight. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV > Hello list, > > I'm back from a long absence from the list with a new email name. I'm > rebuilding a Wing & Son upright serial #31000.
