Paul,
I don't have one at the moment but hopefully I will have soon. It too is very interesting. However, the person who did the rebuilding job din'y bore the hammers to fit this unusual piano but looks like a standard out of the box so the bass hammers are almost at right angles to the strings which I'd like to correct. When I get thepictures I'll send them to you.
Best Regards,

Randy

All belly work done and looks like a decent job along with new hammers, shanks and flanges, finish is very nice. Here are some pictures since they speak louder than my poor description. I'd appreciate any help you may have. Also if someone may know a ball park for the value.
