List,

What books are good for providing an understanding of piano design? I see
several available thru the supply houses, but do not know if they are old
and outdated, or what exactly. I hate to spend money on one that has
outdated information. I'd rather buy a good tool. :-)

One of the techs in our chapter mentioned that a good source would be the
Steinway patent information, which is in the public domain now. I might try
to get that sometime.

Any favorites that you recommend?
