Hello to all, C. A. Ahlstron and his Brothers did indeed make high quality Pianos. In addition to their non-blockable action they employed a self regulating device in the action to insure that there would be no blocking. A special feature of their later pianos is the incorporation of a system of auxiliary or sympathetic strings in the upper register. Experience and logic would lead us to believe it was similar to the German " Bluthner " Aliquot feature. I would appreciate any and all factual information on this "Ahlstom" feature. I need this info. for the PTG. Museum. Regards and Thanks Jack Wyatt Dallas **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
