<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's a picture of a hammer flange =
lock washer
from an 1890 fairly good condition Kranich and Bach upright I was asked =
to work
on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have never seen a good looking lock =
washer like
this before. The piano seems to have been built very sturdy and has some =
interesting features like a brass slide button mounted into a cutout in =
the
right hand cheek block to operate the felt mute. The action mounting =
brackets
also look very rugged. Haven't had a chance to pull the action yet but =
I'm
thinking the keyframe and the action all slide out at the same
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My client purchased the piano for $300. =
It has been
stripped of paint and has some really interesting grains in the wood. =
The grain
however, to me, looks strange...almost like it's just a printed paper =
grained
veneer like some of the cheap kitchen cabinets they make today. He wants =
to
varnish the piano but I suggested we use the method on the OCT 2004 PTG
Journal..."Varnish and Polymerized Tung Oil Overcoat"...which, =
incidentallyh was
demo'd by Terry Miller (former Sacramento Chapter VP) at our last =
meeting. Nice
job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Works really well and looking forward =
to the
process on a few units I have sitting around.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
