Dear List,
Am surprised that none of you folks seem to have encountered the
Wurlitzer model with the 4 long screws running UP from below the keybed,
locking the music desk & lid down (single piece like the Baldwin Hamilton
school-model, but no handy-dandy elbow-cracking lid prop). A very secure
method of preventing 'experiments' in action regulation by the students...but
mystifying until you find 'em yourself!
Perhaps the screws have been "accidently" lost over the years...hmmm?

ps- Had occasion to look up the serial number for a "Kincaid" in the Piano
Atlas last week. Followed the trail through the book from Kincaid to "Grand
Piano Co.". It's interesting that the company "declined to furnish serial
numbers", isn't it?? What? They didn't want to admit that they'd built the
dern things!?
