Franklin was on the low end of the American Piano
Company line ( Mason&Hamlin, Knabe, Chickering,
Haines, Fischer, Marshall & Wendell, Frankiln ), and
if its from the 20's ( before the American-Aeolian
merger in 1930 ) parts from these other makes,
especialy the smaller, lesser ones, might be
interchangeable.
