This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment I recall that I did some extensive work to a 7'2" Sohmer a couple or three years ago. It was a piano teacher that was a good friend of my daughter. The action was a disaster. Hammers blocking strings, new key tops rubbing each other etc. Her regular tuner (An RPT from our chapter that I've never seen at a meeting or convention) told her the piano wasn't worth rebuilding. I only worked on the action and now even the professor of Piano at Santa Clara U. is impressed with it. I went to see it yesterday to take pictures. Betty's piano 1 shows a felt behind the agraffe on the bridge installed before I saw it. I left well enough alone. The agraffes go up to the top. You might notice that the rod behind the felt has sunk into the bridge on one side more than the other. Picture 2 shows this in greater detail. Picture 3 shows that in the top section it differs only in that the rod is smaller. Tilting of the rod is greater but doesn't show up well in the low resolution shot. That was the first piano with bridge agraffes I'd seen. Yesterday I measured the speaking length of note 88. Would you believe 62 mm? Wow. I'm sure this piano has been restrung. I'm getting curious enough to go back one of these days and measure the complete scale. It's a great sounding piano, sound board cracks and all, and the strings haven't broken yet. Amazing.
