This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Dave Stahl & List Yes, I have come across this feature of strings without action. I think = it is to increase the quality of the top note (85 in this case) It is = rather akin to the top two or three dampers being trimmed so only two = strings are damped. I have one of these Ed. Seillers in a school in = really desparate condition. Another thing about it is the damper levers = are all wood. Regulation is through the TWO flange screws which enable = the damper head to be rocked either to the L or to the R. Regards Michael G.(UK) must go out and cut the grass now.... ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Piannaman@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 4:50 AM Subject: Maximiliaan's House of Grand Pianos? I tuned a really interesting piano today. It is a Seiler upright, = circa 1898. The case is quite beautiful, made of burled = something-or-other in the furniture style of that period, very caringly = refinished. It has new hammers(Abels just like the new Seilers), = dampers(again, just like its later brothers), strings, pins, pinblock, = and the ivories are impeccably restored. Pin torque is even throughout, = 3 coils per pin, becket in each row placed in almost identical position. It also has a PianoDisc system in it. =20 The piano has 85 keys. An unusual feature is that it has strings for = A# 7, but there is no hammer nor key, nor a place for either in the = action or keyboard. Why??? There is a sticker inside the piano that says "Maximiliaan's House of = Grand Pianos, New York." Is this seller still in existence? =20 Just curious, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
