<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">I've seen some of these
apparantly Chickering thought so. At the time Aolien was building them for
Chickering supposedly to Chickering specs. My suspicion is they weren't as
much a necessity as something different for Chickering to use for sales.

<P class=MsoNormal>Worked on a 70's era Chickering grand the other day, with
glide bolts in the keybed at the front part of the bed. It also had glides in
the usual spots in the keyframe. Is this a necessity?<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
