It can be so gratifying doing whatever can be done in a two hour slot or so to improve a piano, compared to spending months on one piano splitting all those exponentially decreasing hairs. ? Anyway, I stumbled across this treat a few weeks ago. It's an L.?Berger & Co. console made in Philadelphia.?It wasn't obvious that the s/b was mahagony until I went to adjust the pedals and saw it with me own eyes. I didn't get a chance to verify if it was laminated, my two hours ran up. ;) ?Next time. ?
