Hi Israel,</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
It looks to me like the two caul method is much older than the mid 80's.
That's just when Bill learned about it from Del.</font><font size=3> <br>

Hey, Del, Do you know how old the two caul system is?</font><font size=3>

Hello Paul,</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="Verdana"><br>
I had nothing to do with devising the two caul method. I learned it back
in the mid 1980's from Del Fandrich, who had learned it from another tech
in the Portland area some years previously. Later I heard form a British
technician who had used a similar method many years earlier at Steinway
London. So it seems there is nothing new under the sun. My wife and I are
just the ones who actively taught the method, starting in 1988, and soon
after made the cauls commercially available.</font><font size=3> <br>

Aha! The Bushmaster was being marketed on the East Coast in 1986-87 by
Peter Grey - who claims to have invented it (he patented it). It
didn't get wider exposure until several years later, when Pianotek took
over distribution. So that seals it - Bushmaster was first. <br>
