Over-Damper Uprights and Square Grand Bashing!!!

[pianolover 88]

That;s surprising that you seem to have that many, if ANY bird's to work on. 
I haven't seen but two in the last 5 years, and I referred them both to 
other techs. One tech in particular called me later to say "what a BIG 
mistake" he made taking such a dismal job. Oh well.

Now Mr Petersen, living here I would starve if I refused to work on 
overdampers. What I do refuse to do is pitch raise wooden frame efforts,
so................I'm hungry!!!!!

Luckily for us though, all or most squares were burnt at the stake in 1866.
