Re: key bushing cauls






Hello Paul,
 
I had nothing to do with devising the two caul method. I learned it back 
in the mid 1980's from Del Fandrich, who had learned it from another tech 
in the Portland area some years previously. Later I heard form a British 
technician who had used a similar method many years earlier at Steinway 
London. So it seems there is nothing new under the sun. My wife and I are 
just the ones who actively taught the method, starting in 1988, and soon 
after made the cauls commercially available.

Hi Bill, 

Did you come up with your key bushing caul system before the Bushmaster? 
We have a small debate on this on pianotech. 

Thanks
