<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: [CAUT] Hornung and Moller?</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FONT FACE="Verdana">About the sostenuto, depends on the pianist. I use it probably more than most, but for specific music, and I play mostly 20th century music. If your repertoire is mostly pre-20th century, you won’t miss it.<BR> Fred<BR> On 8/24/07 6:01 PM, "Jim Busby" <jim_busby@byu.edu> wrote:<BR> <BR> </FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT COLOR="#000080"><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">Thanks Fred,<BR> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"><BR> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000080"><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial"> <BR> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"><BR> </FONT><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Courier New">My serial #s are 54026 and 54190.

Founded around 1840, Copenhagen. A typical size European maker, looks like they never made as many as 1000 in a year.
