[pianotech] Birdcage piano for David Boyce

[David Boyce]

Thanks Wim.  1880s would seem about right. At least it doesn't seem to 
have oblong pins, which you sometimes encounter on those old cheap 
pianos, and which I hate!  It's a spring and loop action I see. In my 
experience they never feel nice.  I wonder if the owner understands that 
that piano was a cheap and nasty model even when it was brand new? In 
that era there were so many small workshops in England churning out 
cheap poorly-made pianos for the newly emerging lower middle-class 
domestic market.  There's not much more to be said about that piano, 
except that it should probably have been burnt sixty years ago!  But I 
come across plenty like it.

Best regards,

David .
