<DIV>Hello Thump,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The Sp. 64 was designed by and for the Pratt-Read</DIV>
<DIV>Action Co. Comstock, Frank Stopa and Charley Stein</DIV>
<DIV>was involved in this design. The Lester Piano Co. did</DIV>
<DIV>build the little piano. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> At the time small houses and apartments was the rule </DIV>
<DIV>of the day. And small Pianos was called far. It was </DIV>
<DIV>intended to fill this need.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> It is a real piano as it has strings struck by
hammers</DIV>
<DIV>a sound board and bridges. It has a single escapement </DIV>
<DIV>action (jack on key) and dampers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> There is such a Piano in the PTG Museum in the</DIV>
<DIV>Home Office. It can be seen and played there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I would like to see pictures.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV>Jack Wyatt</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Who's never won? <A title="http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp00300000002548" href="http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp00300000002548" target="_blank">Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
