Interesting note on bushing cauls

[Delwin D Fandrich]

No idea. It's just one more of those things that keeps being invented all over
again from time to time.

Hi Israel, 

It looks to me like the two caul method is much older than the mid 80's. That's
just when Bill learned about it from Del. 

Hey, Del,  Do you know how old the two caul system is?

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.

Aha! The Bushmaster was being marketed on the East Coast in 1986-87 by Peter
Grey - who claims to have invented it (he patented it).  It didn't get wider
exposure until several years later, when Pianotek took over distribution. So
that seals it - Bushmaster was first.
