<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10>Hello Benny,
<BR>
<BR> This wippen was invented by Josef
<BR>Herrburger. He received a Patent March
<BR>25, 1890.
<BR>
<BR> The last piano I saw with this action was in
<BR>what I believe to be an " A. M. Hume".
<BR>
<BR>Regulate it as you would any other "standard"
<BR>modern action.
<BR>
<BR> By the way The Hume is an outstanding
<BR>Piano. There is a very interesting story here
<BR>but that would be for another time. Remind
<BR>me sometime and I will tell you.
<BR>
<BR> Herrburger worked for Jean Schwander in his
<BR>early years and started his own action factory
<BR>later in N.Y. City.
<BR>
<BR> A working model of this action, with orginial
<BR>parts, will be displayed in the New Foundation
<BR>Musem at the 2005 Convention in Kansas
<BR>City
<BR>
<BR> Hello David N. good to hear from you.
<BR>
<BR>Regards to All,
<BR>Jack Wyatt </FONT></HTML>
