[pianotech] Collard & Collard revisited

[Carlos Ralon]

Duaine,
The same tip used for most Sq Grands works on this 1850 C & C.  I am sure I will never restore it.... just too much work.

  What tuning hammer tip do you use ? And what pitch to tune it at ?

    I have a 1850's Collard & Collard in my shop. No plate, but a metal strip across the bottom to support the hitch pins. Also notice the method the jacks are attached. I replaced some with pieces of drum skin.  It's just to pretty to scrap.

      Duaine, it has no plate?
      Well, no wonder!! Just like old street Barrel Pianos with no plates (to make the instrument lighter to move around on the street), it will have to be tuned just about every time you play it!
