Hi folks, Dale, thank you for posting those lovely soundboard photos. I went back to your website and enjoyed the photos there too. I was thinking what a fascinating repository of piano repair photos has over time been posted to the list. They would make a great book. It would comprise a miscellany of photos of a scope and variety never before assembled. Think of all the photos sent in by vastly experienced craftsmen doing a huge variety of piano tasks in a wide range of workshop types and settings. Think of the close-up shots of small repair items. Think of the shots of odd bridge/capo/stinging/bearing bar configurations. Think of the shots of beautiful re-finished pianos. When can we get to buy the lavish full-colour book?! If everyone was willing to donate photos and assign copyright to the PTG, and do a write-up on what's in the photos, perhaps a printer copuld be found, and the PTG could have the profits. What a fascinating and miscellaneous illustrated repair manual could result! Best, David.
