 It looks liek a low angle plane. I use a Lee- Nielsen for planing soundboard tops and many other things. Very effective

Yes, they are rather unique, but my question is why it's a "Piano Plane" as opposed to any other name under the sun.  It appears to be primarily for use on a shooting board, but also, since it has two points to grasp, it should presumably be able to be used on a secured workpiece as well.  But, why "piano plane?"

Hi List,

Has anyone out there ever had occasion to use/know what to use this plane for?  I've seen it labeled as a "piano plane," and can't for the life of me guess where exactly one would use this plane as opposed to any other plane available for piano work.  It's a Stanley #9.  Enquiring minds...........
