<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am =
looking for
some info on a Rudolph Wurlitzer. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tuned one of these babies three =
months ago, and
discovered that that's as long asthe tuning lasted. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It went terrbily out and dropped in
pitch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Observed a plain plywood {laminated} =
soundboard
with no lacquer, varnish of any kind. The piano went so far out =
in the
three month period that I suppected that the soundboard had =
actually
twisted. I could not find any signs of any structuual damage and the =
tuning
pins were very tight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any advice on these =
instruments....customer
needless to say is very concerned ...</FONT></DIV>
