Hi Gang! This email I received yesterday tickled my funny bone so I thought
I would share it:

"I have an antique English upright piano, I believe it has a squirrel
> cage construction. Are you familiar with this setup? It was only
> around for a little while in the late 1800s and is very different
> than modern pianos...
>
> It needs tuning and possibly other maintenance...and I know someone
> that has worked on these is hard to find."
>

I found myself trying to image what a "squirrel cage" action would look
like!
