[pianotech] L.W. Foster Piano?

I will get back to you as soon as I can see the piano again. It's just down
the street, so it's just a matter of coordinating times.

 

Thanks.

I'd be interested in seeing the belly layout - plate, soundboard, bridges,
upper terminations, etc.

 

Any chance this piano is European/English? Fancy case? Candle holders on
upper front? Lattice fold-up music desk? How many keys?

 

Thanks.

Tuned a piano the other day and am trying to get some information about its
history. There was no name on the piano in the usual places or methods but
it had what looked like a tuning sticker as follows:

 

L.W. Foster

Piano Tuner and Maker

1915 Washington Blvd.

Chicago, IL

Phone Seely 268

 

 

The serial number was 1558 and there was what looked like a tuning date of
5-26-13.

 

It is a full upright and is straight strung with double unisons through out
(with the exception of the usual low bass). None of the books that I have
were of any help and I am not even sure that Foster is the maker. Any
information would be welcome.

 

Thank you.
