---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Piano-philes I thought of a couple more now that you asked TP. One is a 1919 stwy O. In general I'm not a big O fan. But I rebuilt this one with an original board, no cracks, great crown & bearing. The best American O I've encountered ever. A Bay area preserved piano that belongs to RPT Paul Bailey & he knows how to play it. The other also belong to him. It's a BB Mason from 1929. The board is made of perfectly quartered Sitka spruce & from the same cant of the log. Color perfect & big wide planks. Some are 6 to 7 inches. It came from a supplier in Idaho. Sometimes it pays to ask. The medullary ray is unbelievable. It looks like a violin top. Tight grain too. Sugar pine ribs. It sings wonderfully. I love the big pianos. Paul is spoiled. Dale Hey TP There are so many. My personal piano is a 1950 MAson AA. The sound really floats out. Its warm and full. Sustain freaks like Masons or any thing that sings for that matter. My sis owns it's twin just one serial no. apart & hers is also amazing. Another is a Stwy German O that I played in the S.F. area. It was astoundingly incredible I thought it was bigger. Feeling warm & fuzzy now Dale ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
