[pianotech] green piano with bass bridge problem

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

When I was at WITCC, ('77/'78) there was a truckload sale of "Grand" pianos at a local hotel.  
I think the "grand" moniker came from the price tag...

I don't remember a green plate, but I've tuned "Grand Pianos" before, and remember them as having only two strings per unison.  I didn't charge 2/3 of my fee for them.

Hey Gary,

Well, I guess they didn't believe you.  ;-)  There was a business card glued on the top of the pinblock of a PTG member from East Peoria.  I had never heard of him--and I've been around for a while.  Perhaps he was a member of the Quad-cities chapter at one time.  



So, did all the Betsy Lynns or spinets made by the Grand Piano Company have green plates?  I've never seen a green plate before, and I haven't serviced (before today) a piano made by the Grand Piano Company before either.

Barb... I thought I condemned that piano years ago.  The advice sounds good, so "have fun" !
