You've got questions? (was Piano Designers...)

List -

Forgive the late flashback to the thread, but in addition to the "why"
questions, I have a couple of "what" queries:

Kimball at one point was bragging about its "Pipe Organ Sound Chamber"
whenever you opened one to tune it.  I have never found the sound chamber, but
it must be where they keep all the wild inharmonicity cooped up.  Anyone else
know where they put it?

Similarly, Heppe upright pianos said right on the plate that they had three
sound boards.  I only ever found one.  Where are the others?

For good measure, have any of you English majors ever tuned a piano with this
cast into the plate?  "The Lindeman family have been building pianos for 85
years."  Jim Harvey or Susan Kline, can you correct the grammar?
