[pianotech] Strange and Different

[Dale Erwin]

Interesting piano Wally.  Those Look like ancient Ronsen Bacon felt hammers. Do they appear to have been replaced.

I enjoy seeing and hearing about strange and different pianos that my fellow 

technicians encounter from time to time.



Here's one I hadn't heard about before. A Weinstein Curvex Acousticon! (Hamburg, 

Germany) It features a slanted pinblock, which added extra friction in the 

string movement while tuning, but the angle of the tuning wrench (downward) made 

for less reaching.



Unfortunately, the piano wasn't very well made. But interesting.
