Ivers & Pond some reply

[pianoman]

Hi Clyde,
Yes, I think that is its' name.  An ingenious little mechanism.  No, I
haven't had occasion to have to take out a wippon to repair.  I think I am
the only one who plays the piano once a year.  It is in her lower level, a
vaulted barrel ceiling room.  Her upstairs piano is a small Samick grand. 
Well the Samick looks good.
