Appelations and monikers

[Richard Moody]

>From the esteemed author of "World Class Junk" in the renouned Piano
Technician's Journal comes, 
	"Remember ..............................the
Melodigrand miniature?"

What synchronicity, I just tuned a Moldiegrunt, excuse me, Melodigrand
spinet.  It was SMALL, but it tuned better than expected. 

Now regarding the questions about the line of Baldwin and monikers
suggesting royalty.  As regards to your inquiry as to how Acrasonic fits
into the line up, I say after Monarch. BUT there is also a line of
Baldwins (according to Pierce...disc "mid 30's") called Saint Regis. Regis
means "king" as in "regal" doesn't it? 

You mentioned Crown. Never heard of it, but thanks to Pierce again it says
made by George P Bent. But I thought George Bent  played the judge in a
Three Stooges episode. The one where he says "Drop the venecular" and
Curley replies,"This ain't a venecular, its a derby" (referring to his
hat) (he prounced it doibe)      Oh never mind.....
