[pianotech] 1810 Johann Fritz piano forte

[Dave Doremus]

Hi Gene, it is a wood rail on top but underneath is a piece of parchment that buzzes. Kind of like a bass string kazoo. They can be tough to replace and regulate nicely. I see your pictures now, thanks for sending them. I'll have to give them a good look tonight on a big screen! Lovely piano.
