---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Yesterday I tuned a Mehlin & Sons spinet. I was fascinated by the shiny aluminum looking plate, thinking it was just painted that way. Then I noticed the name Alcoa cast into the metal and knew that it was really aluminum. I asked the owner if it was lighter than other pianos and she said the movers had commented that it was very light weight. I didn't notice any particular problems as a result of this being an aluminum plate, so wondered why the practice didn't continue. Anyone informed as to the history of the aluminum piano plate?
