<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>There was a company up here, and according to the
serial number, the piano was from the early 30's, and I believe it was straight
strung, or possibly open faced, I can't quite remember. The company had gone
bankrupt, and the employees were trying to make a go of it themselves. I believe
they just used anything they found to make a few more pianos. Didn't work, as
they folded anyway.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

action in a straight strung piano? There is no need for the bass section
hammers to be out of line with the treble.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
