[pianotech] Do-It-Yourself piano repaiis from 1920

[David Boyce]

We are all familiar with the "how to repair anything" genre of book.  I 
have a set of such books from about 1920, "The Amateur Mechanic" in four 
volumes, and there is a section on piano repairs.  The line drawings are 
good - nice drawing of a "cottage piano" action.  I think the book was 
over-optimistic about what a piano owner could actually achieve.  Just 
for historical interest, I have put the relevant section as an embedded 
PDF on the Technical Information page of my website. I love the bandaged 
hammer!

Best regards,

David.
