Do send lots of photos. Collard & Collards have many numbers on them, and can be quite difficult to date accurately. Pierce is no help at all for this make.</div><div> </div><div> For the record, Malcolm Rose does not supply the correct type of wire for this piano. Depending upon the year (which is most likely NOT 1828, btw), Stephen Birkett's 'new' historically accurate wire may be correct, but more likely it will need the slightly later wire which he is still in the process of getting into production.</div><div><br></div><div>AA</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><span name="x"></span><br><br>Anne Acker<br>Historic Keyboard Specialist<br>Anne Acker Early Keyboards<br>http://www.anneackerkeyboards.com<br>http://www.pianogrands.com<br><br>mobile 912-704-3048<span name="x"></span><br></div><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>pianotech-request@ptg.org<br><b>To: </b>pianotech@ptg.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, November 27, 2012 5:40:56 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>pianotech Digest, Vol 49, Issue 128<br><br>Send pianotech mailing list submissions to<br> pianotech@ptg.org<br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> pianotech-request@ptg.org<br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> pianotech-owner@ptg.org<br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of pianotech digest..."<br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.
