You removed the chamber prior to tuning the piano, and probably laid it aside. Remember I mentioned that some of those extra parts can come in handy? You might want to check the trunk of your car. Also, I've never noticed the inharmonicity being cooped up anywhere -- it's always been available for me. > Similarly, Heppe upright pianos said right on the plate that they > had three sound boards. I only ever found one. Where are the others? On the other two pianos they built. While it's conceivable they'd sell all three pianos in the same town, it's presumptuous to think you would get all the accounts. > > 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? Be happy to: 'The Lindeman family have been building a piano for 85 years'. It's all in good spirit folks. Which reminds me, I'm about out of Sterno!
