That Mathushek likely has some really neat mechanical features, too: an action that slides out all in one piece, like a grand; spring-loaded "kickers" on the backchecks for better repetition; little brass cups with threaded stems for the dowel-shaped stickers to sit in, to eliminate friction caused by a center pin there.......<br />and I'm guessing that they took the same amount of care in creating a very nice SOUNDING piano, too!</div></td></tr></table> <div id="_origMsg_">

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">In light of the recent discussion on soundboard repair on old uprights this is timely. I’d love to have it in the shop for one of those “can’t possibly make money on it but sure would be fun” projects. Sadly, the cobblers children do usually go unshod. </span></div>
