So, who is the older gentleman you are playing with? ddf _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Sowers Sent: May 21, 2009 9:24 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] An unusual action! 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! -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA www.pianova.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
