Sort of like a grand piano except with an upright stack. Didn't have the adjustable "dip rail", of course it wasn't a birdcage. What a pain to get in the car... ilvey, RPT Pacifica, CA > Birdcage stuff. > Mike, (yes I am old enough to know...) > Many old German uprights of that vintage have an "attached" action.
