[pianotech] 1904 Starr Upright

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

Hello Rob and All,
 
 
    The quality of this piano in good condition depends upon  which
" Starr " upright piano it is.  The majority of  "  Starr "  pianos built in
the  early 1900s   were scale  34. This is the  scale in most of their 
Players and uprights..   HOWEVER  !!!!!! !  during this time they  
also made,  THE SCALE '' # 5 '''' .
  
     For most  experienced tuners you will  recognize the   " NORRIS " 
pedal system  as being the best pedal system ever,. and  the most 
expensive,  Yes the  # 5 had this system,  this tells  all what quality
the builders intended  the # 5 piano to be.
 
   Sense  the mid 1940s I have rebuilt dozens of  34s  I have rebuilt  
or repaired only  ( 3 ) ' 5,s '  If you every  rebuild one  you will 
remember..

   In quality and tone  It is equal to or  better the  "M.& Wendell"  22, 
the "T. Loud" B /B-2,   The "M& Hamlin " E and  the '' Bush @ Lanes''
and another that  I cannot remember at this time.
 
   Regards,
  Jack Wyatt
