For some reason my mind was thinking Chickering instead of Knabe. My comment about the philosophy still stand. > Roger Gable Dang digest! Hadn't gotten this before my last post, so, sorry Roger. And, it's easy to conflate Knabe with Chickering, since they became one more-or-less happy family in Rochester. One of my friends calls them K-chickerings, or K'chickeramlins (Mason & Hamlins were built there too). Some of the models from that era do seem to be fairly interchangeable.... Joe DeFazio Pittsburgh P.S. - is that your grand tilter in the journal, Roger? Looks pretty cool. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
