Did you tune it to 440? I'll try and take pictures next time. Thanks for yours! Aren't they beautiful?

The tuning pins are loose but still holding and the wear to the action is minimal. These are from last fall, all I had was my phone so the pics aren't very sharp. This is the first time I've tried this so I hope I'm not sending files that are way too large, apologies in advance if I did something wrong... > > > --Dave > New Orleans > > On 7/8/11 3:26 AM, David Boyce wrote: >> Hi Laura, >> >> Intereting about the restored Barless Grand, and nice that it's gorgeous! I agree with you about the "swoop" of the plate being visually attractive, and it must be all the more so having been re-gilded. The number you cite would indeed seem to put it at about 1890, according to The Musicians Piano Atlas. Broadwood numbers are complex! > > <Broadwood strings.jpg><Broadwood serial number.jpg><Broadwood action.jpg>
