Spinet Grand

[Jeannie Grassi]

Hi John,
Carl Demler, Beethoven Pianos, bought Ford Piano Supply several years ago.
He is not selling piano supplies, who knows what has become of John's museum
objects.  One of his sons may have kept some of it if it didn't go to
Beethoven.

For information's sake, the Chinook Keyboard Centre (Calgary's piano
museum) has one of these as well. I think it came from the Enyedi
Collection.

John Ford in NYC used to have a Mathusek "museum" in his store if I recall.
I always wondered what happened to all that stuff. Anyone know?
