[John Ross]

Possibly the company was tight for money, and was just using parts they found around.
There was a company up here, and according to the serial number, the piano was from the early 30's, and I believe it was straight strung, or possibly open faced, I can't quite remember. The company had gone bankrupt, and the employees were trying to make a go of it themselves. I believe they just used anything they found to make a few more pianos. Didn't work, as they folded anyway.

  Why would they use an overstrung type action in a straight strung piano? There is no need for the bass section hammers to be out of line with the treble.

    List,
    Wing and son upright piano from around 1930 as best as I can tell.
    Flat strung with this unusual strut behind the soundboard.
    This piano is 200 cents flat and I don't know what to do !
    I'm a pull it up to pitch guy,but this one makes me nervous.Thoughts?
