A Genuine Upright Grand

It would make a good one. The case is in good shape - ornate, and quite
nice. The action is similar to a modern Yamaha in that the center pins are
held in place by a butt plate. Somewhere around here, I've got my notes for
the piano if anyone's interested.

Yeah, I thought about getting it for myself, but then it would sit in the
shop for the next couple of decades. :-)

  Miller made some awesome pianos back then. I know their grands were well
built - I can only imagine the uprights were massive pianos also. Someone in
your area should jump on such a piano - have Del redesign it - make a killer
upright out of it!

    I looked at a similarly massive Henry F. Miller upright from around that
era. It needs everything - if anyone's interested, the owner would probably
like to be rid of it.

      That's cool!  We had an 1890 Steinway upright in the shop that looked
like that: massive laminated rim on the soundboard.  On closer inspection,
it was just a cutoff bar; it didn't go all the way around.  It was on the
opposite side from your picture: on the top of the treble side.
