<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tuned a Jonas-Chickering piano today with a SN of
about 1839, looks to be about 30 years old. The name plate was plastic,
obviously a knockoff. But there was registration to sent to Chickering and
Sons, which obviously had not been sent in. Did Chickering make some
really cheap knockoffs of their own? This was a really shoddy piece of
work, and I'm just nosey.</FONT></P>
