<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'> <div>Hy</div> <div> </div> <div>This is what I like about being a piano tuner. You never know what you're going find. Most of the time they are run of the mil pianos. But once in a while you run across something really weird. That's when you find out if you've got the "chops" to be a piano technician.  </div> <div> </div> <div>Tell us what you find.

I can't find it in the Piano Atlas. The owner thinks it may have been made in U.k> and might be early 1900s. It is an upright. Does anyone know anything about that brand? Is there anything odd with the action, or is it "normal"?
