This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List I looked at a "3/4" size piano today, the best built one I've ever seen. = The case was painted and the name covered but "LEM" could be seen. I'm = not sure about the "L", but the EM was legible.Serial #426195. Action, = Pratt-Read; 68 note scale starting on F and ending on C; 12 single = string bass notes; 14 wound bass bicords; then plain wire tricords from = the break to the top note; 2 pedals; laminated (I think) maple sound = board; no ribs; cantilevered bass bridge; both bridges notched on both = sides; standard size keys; probably a mahogany veneered case. It looked = like the manufacturer cut 8 notes off the bottom and an octave off the = top of their spinet piano plate pattern and built this 3/4 size = instrument. The proportions of the case are very well laid out in an = Arts and Crafts period design. The original bench was gone, but a = suitable bench was in front of it. When I sat at the piano, I was = reminded of the furniture one would find in a kindergarten room. It is = tunable and the action shows very little wear. All in all a fun = experience. The owners want to know all they can about it, and what it might be = worth. So, I hope their is someone who may be able to identify it and = give some value. Thanks.
