Looks decent (black finish) and is tuneable/playable thanks to the miracle of CA. No bench. Very small. It is not their primary piano, would sell cheap, I'm sure.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>Alan Barnard</DIV> <DIV>Salem, Missouri</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=JWyatt1492@aol.com href="mailto:JWyatt1492@aol.com"></A></DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To: </B><A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A>;<A title=ptgl@ptg.org href="mailto:ptgl@ptg.org">ptgl@ptg.org</A></DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> 04/13/2006 3:13:32 PM </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Foundation info.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hello to all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>    The Foundation needs the following Pianos. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A piano with the Wurlitzer " Uni-Lock" tuning system.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   They were made in grands under the Apollo and Wurlitzer</DIV> <DIV>names.  Also perhaps under the Dekalb, Farney, and Schaff</DIV> <DIV>Bros. in both Grand and Uprights.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>   This system like the "Wegman, " looks the same from the </DIV> <DIV>front but uses no wood, only metal in the tuning " block ."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Check from the rear on uprights or under pins on a Grand. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>  Also any info. you may have or can find on the "Tom </DIV> <DIV>Thumb.
