Dear List, Am surprised that none of you folks seem to have encountered the Wurlitzer model with the 4 long screws running UP from below the keybed, locking the music desk & lid down (single piece like the Baldwin Hamilton school-model, but no handy-dandy elbow-cracking lid prop). A very secure method of preventing 'experiments' in action regulation by the students...but mystifying until you find 'em yourself! Perhaps the screws have been "accidently" lost over the years...hmmm? Jeffrey T. Hickey, RPT Oregon Coast Piano Services TunerJeff @ aol.com ps- Had occasion to look up the serial number for a "Kincaid" in the Piano Atlas last week. Followed the trail through the book from Kincaid to "Grand Piano Co.". It's interesting that the company "declined to furnish serial numbers", isn't it?? What? They didn't want to admit that they'd built the dern things!?
