Hello Mike, Pictures, pictures ? You could have a real " Tom Thum " piano. K.@ Campbell owned this brand at this time. Many people call all small pianos T. Thum. but there is only one. Some of these little piano were built without the player system. Most had a 1/2 sliding fall board and "toes" connecting the legs to the body. And only two pedals. The sound is very good. I have owned a Tom Thumb with the player for 40 years. It is in good working order and on display in the PTG. Museum as I write this. Gulbransen built a small piano called "The Pinafore". The sound is very weak, but it works Aeolian built the best 64 note called the " Melody Grand." Two string unisons sounds great. Drop action., no fall with two pedals. All of the above had standard piano parts. Treat it as a piano. In a message da"ed 5/19/2010 7:25:37 A.M.

Owner wants me to inspect and quote on substantial action work and restringing, but it's a substantial distance away, and I'd like to prepare as much as possible ahead of time. According to the serial number, it was manufactured in 1927. It has 58 notes, is only 34" wide, and stands 38" tall. My main question would be, is it just like a real piano only with fewer parts, or is it unique and troublesome? thanks Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
