<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A music store in the area has just =
taken an old
piano into the store. I don't know why. It is a =
wreck. I
suggested that they immediately remove it to the dump. Still I =
would
like to know about it if anyone has any information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is a Carton. Taller than a =
spinet, not
quite a console, #4805. The dampers are situated in a block that =
extends over
the pins and top of the strings. Probably the damper arrangement =
would
have to be removed in order to tune it. The harp does not extend =
the
width of the piano, only about 3/4 of the width, not extending to the =
high
treble of the piano. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This piano has missing hammers, =
whippens, a split
sound board, and broken strings. The cabinet looks very nice =
even though
the top cover is not original and is pretty badly beaten up. The =
music
rack folds sideways on a metal contraption. </FONT></DIV>
