> I tuned a Welmar studio yesterday, #109006. The surprising aspect of this
is that I had never heard of the London-based make previously and I've been
servicing pianos in the "colonies" for thirty-eight years.

mellow tone. An interesting feature is the side lifting lid, the hinges of
which are secured to blocks, the dowells of which recess into the cabinet.
Just lifts straight off. The muffler rail, too, was easy to disengage.
