and worksheet. I have it in my records as a c.1895 Bosendorfer grand, approx.
213 cm in length. The name Bosendorfer did appear on the keycover in inlaid
brass lettering. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=421013003-10062007><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#000080>Both the action and keyset were replaced. The
original action was a single-escapement design. Most of the original action
parts were either missing or so badly mangled as to be unrepairable. The
original keys were flared out so both a new keyset and a matching action stack
were designed to fit the original keybed and strikeline. The original keyset and
action were returned to the owner in case he ever wanted to have them restored
and fitted back to the piano. The new keyset and action were designed with this
possibility in mind.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

original scaling.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
