I once tuned an older upright in the upper penninsula of Michigan which
was purported to be owned by Henry Ford's attorney. Starting at the left
end of the open faced pinblock was the date 1887. From there on, each
technician dated and signed when tuning took place. There must have been 25
names and it looked like a history book going through the turn of the last
century, WWI, the depression, WWII, and so on until the present day. I was
honored to add my name to this unique "piano history book."
