5 pedal piano

[Dave Smith]

Don, I am just finishing rewhatevering a 5 pedal Wing and Son.  It has a
better tone and sustain than many of the mid size grands I get to work on.
Has been a fun project.  They sell on Ebay in un-rewhatevered condition  for
a few hundred dollars.  Usually no mention of the strings, action,
soundboard, pinblock, etc condition.  There is one "selling" now:

Interesting that the old catalogs about the Wing and Sons pianos sell for
almost as much as the old pianos themselves.  Catalogs aren't in great
condition either, but take up a lot less room in the house and UPS will
deliver them.  Also interesting that these pianos were basically "mail
order" at the turn of the century.  I could scan a couple of pages from the
catalog and send them to you if you are interested.
