Oh, please! This sounds like the kind of wacko thing I would do just to see what the result might be. In the process I'd probably move the bridges around, give it a new scale, put in a couple of soundboard cutoff bars and - well, you get the idea. I really didn't think there would be two of us.. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Nicholas Gravagne Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2011 12:34 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Terry's Comments<G> Yeah, it is TOO cool. Alum-a-tone is exactly right! Good sales phrase -- the tone shimmers like crinkled aluminum foil in the sun. The old buggy with a genuine Alcoa Plate was mfg. circa mid to late 1940s, a gift to my mother from my father, and began its musical life in a third-story walk up apartment in Da Bronx, NY after which it moved to two locations in NJ where I went to school and grew up. . I'm thinking of totally rebuilding this thing and showing it sometime at a rebuilder's showcase ;-) See ya soon at WESTPAC this March. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
