<DIV>Hello Rick,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The early Shoenhuts had sound Bars, the
later</DIV>
<DIV>models had sound Rods.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have one Shoenhut Grand with Bars. Circa 1890.</DI=
V>
<DIV>It is 26 in. long has 37 notes with round fluted legs</DIV>
<DIV>and a fancy music rack.</DIV>
<DIV> The Bars are 3/4 in.wide the longest being 4 3/4</DIV>
<DIV>the shortest being 2 in. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I also have a "Shoenhut Player Piano"</DIV>
<DIV>it is an upright with tone bars, 11 keys (no sharps).</DIV>
<DIV>It is 11 in. high and 12 in. wide. Circa 1925. </DIV>
<DIV> It has an original wind up music box built</DIV>
<DIV>in and is still working. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I also have an "Shoenhut" upright with tone Rods.</DIV>
<DIV>It has 30 notes and is in a modern style. </DIV>
<DIV> Height 20 in. and 18 1/4 wide, Circa 1952.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> You tune these the same way you tune</DIV>
<DIV>a tuning fork.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have plans to display these in the Foundation </DI=
V>
<DIV>Museum at the 2007 Convention is Kansas City.</DIV>
