Hello to All. I have read about a double board in a " Heppe" but not a triple. It stated the piano was built by another factory for Heppe and the second board was attached, installed or whatever after delivery to Heppe. My opinion then and now is that it was a promotional gimmick. I would to know more about the triple boards. Jack Wyatt PTGF.Museum Curator In a message dated 9/8/2012 3:45:45 P.M.

You would look up the patent number on Google Patents and see if it looked like that, or look for patent numbers on the plate and look them up. The number I gave you is indeed to a 1902 patent for an upright with three soundboards. >It > certainly looked like a regular soundboard to me, underneath 80 years of > dirt, grime, stink bugs, and neglect.

Since people will call everything under the sun a soundboard, did it happen to have three bridges? Ron N -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
