This looks quite like a Pape downstrike action. I would say around 1840. Pierre _____ De : pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] De la part de Ed Sutton Envoyé : vendredi 23 mai 2008 16:20 À : Pianotech List Objet : Re: Square Grand Pfeiffer mentions it in _The Piano Hammer_(pp. 66-67). He quotes Welcker (writing in 1856, 1864 or 1867) as saying that Greiner has struggled with this action for "more than twenty-five years." Ed Sutton Hi list, Does anybody recognize this type of early grand from Germany. I'd like to be able to date the piano for my customer. I think it's around 1830...
