Tallone

[Marcel Carey]

David,

I had the pleasure to meet Mr Tallone somewhere in the 70 before I
became a piano tech. He came and visited my father at the Orford Art
Center for a week. I might still have pictures of the two of them
working on pianos in little huts in the wood. I remember my father
telling me about his inventions ( a second tuning adjustment that
would be a micro-tuning pin that raised or lowered the string between
the Vbar and tuning-pin). I think he had many patents for pianos. I
wonder if someone could find out about these from the Italian patents
(I guess there might be a slight langage thing there though).

This subject brings back some good old memories for me.

Thanks for bringing this man's name up David.
