<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hello list,
<BR>
<BR>I tuned a really interesting old piano yesterday. It is a Sherman =
and Clay grand, I'd estimate it's length at 6' 4" or so. Really nice o=
ld beast. I didn't have time to give it a really thorough lookover, bu=
t it tuned nicely despite a few looser-than-desirable-pins, and had a really=
interesting, full sound. The KO was far less troublesome that I would=
have thought from a piano that age.
<BR>
<BR>The serial number put it at 1925, and the T above the number must be the=
model. The Pierce Atlas said that these old Sherman and Clays were ma=
de by either Steinert or Haddorf. I'm thinking Steinert. I=
've seen a few of them, and they were very solid instruments. Anybody =
familiar with these pianos?
<BR>
<BR>It's always nice to find these oldies but goodies!
