Hard to tell when it's not a 3D picture.

I looks to me this action was made specifically for this piano. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Possibly the company was tight for money, and was just using parts they found around. There was a company up here, and according to the serial number, the piano was from the early 30's, and I believe it was straight strung, or possibly open faced, I can't quite remember. The company had gone bankrupt, and the employees were trying to make a go of it themselves. I believe they just used anything they found to make a few more pianos. Didn't work, as they folded anyway. John M. Ross Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada. jrpiano at win.eastlink.ca ----- Original Message ----- Why would they use an overstrung type action in a straight strung piano? There is no need for the bass section hammers to be out of line with the treble. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
