Old Uprights -Where's Jack Wyatt?

[thepianoarts]

Charles,

Jack Wyatt would be a great resource for giving some guidelines about these
pianos. He is here in the Dallas Texas area, ( he just gave up  the SWRVP
post)  but travels around the country with his display of' the evolution of
the action', via action models. His phone # is 972-278-9312.  He has an
extensive historical knowledge of good American made pianos. Jack, where are
you?
