The bass/tenor area capo d'astro bars and the area around the lower tenor
bridge and the bass bridge showing the backscale. Decker was one of the few
builders that got this right later on. I'd like to see how they were done in
this piano. It's a bit older than the others I've seen and, from your
description, somewhat different in its design concept.

Don't forget to check out that damper system before you get too far into
things.
