I tuned a really interesting piano today.  It is a Seiler upright,  circa 
1898.  The case is quite beautiful, made of burled something-or-other  in the 
furniture style of that period, very caringly refinished.  It has  new 
hammers(Abels just like the new Seilers), dampers(again, just like its later  brothers), 
strings, pins, pinblock, and the ivories are impeccably  restored.  Pin 
torque is even throughout, 3 coils per pin, becket in each  row placed in almost 
identical position.
 
It also has a PianoDisc system in it.  
 
The piano has 85 keys.  An unusual feature is that it has strings for  A# 7, 
but there is no hammer nor key, nor a place for either in  the action  or 
keyboard.  Why???
 
There is a sticker inside the piano that says "Maximiliaan's House of Grand  
Pianos, New York."  Is this seller still in  existence?   
 
Just curious,
 
Dave Stahl
