O E Wuertz Upright, 1905

[John Ross]

Hi Kieth,
I have seen an upright of that vintage made in Ottawa, Canada, where the
keybed and front legs were held on by large wooden screws, into the sides of
the case.  It was almost like a drawer fitting in it's cavity.  It also had
wedges that were knocked out by other wedges secured in the back of the
front board. The piano was basically 1/2 size front to back.
I never saw it apart.
Regards,
John M. Ross
