No such things as centre pins and flanges in those days; all parts were attached with leather and vellum hinges. The hopper (jack in today's terminology) was attached to the key. We would still classify this as a bichord piano. Judging from the pinblock, this has a wooden frame. Don't even bother trying to raise it to concert pitch. Absolutely no value other than semi-mental purposes. James Curle would be the name of the shop that sold it, not the maker.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here, you can have your pictures back, processed for clarification.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AF</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" align=baseline src="cid:F5FFDDB92B954153820D8FC8B0F06DBE@Aspire"></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt="" align=baseline src="cid:B4B71E3347C14EC6BB4CDD6828410D1B@Aspire"></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial; BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=toddpianoworks@att.net href="mailto:toddpianoworks@att.net">Matthew Todd</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, November 02, 2011 11:33 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [pianotech] Piano Info</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #000; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> <DIV><SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Does anyone any info or age on the following (pics attached):</DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">James Curle, 52 Hanover St. Edinburgh</DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Semi Grand Cottage, Trichord Treble</DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Serial Number is 1999</DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Thanks so much!</DIV> <DIV style="RIGHT: auto">Matthew<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
