(Fwd) Re: Maathushek Pianos

[Tom Cole]

Ron,

I have a couple of books which refer to Mathushek: "Pianos and Their
Makers," Alfred Dolge, has an interesting writeup of him; "Old Pianos,"
by N. E. Michel, 1954 has a full-page picture of a circa 1850 cocked-hat
grand piano. The picture clearly shows the very ornate music desk.

I would be glad to send photocopies of the above.
