Birdcage

[Eliot Lee]

Dear List,

	Someone called yesterday and asked me to tune a birdcage piano.

	I declined because I have heard so many horror stories about
servicing them.  Apparently they were quite popular in England.

	If anyone has experience please share.  I understand that the pins
require a different tuning lever tip.  What cautions should we observe
before undertaking?

	This is the 3rd time I have been asked to service a birdcage so it
would be nice to know how to tune them.

Thanks,

Eliot Lee
