Hello Joe,
=20
   =E2=80=98The piano you speak of  was and can be again an =20
outstanding small grand. In rebuilding they are very=20
forgiving.   Don't hold the  belching of the promotional=20
department against this  piano. They do not have a clue=20
of what the facts are and care less. =20

This is the scale  =E2=80=9C44=E2=80=9D  or  scale  =E2=80=9CBB=E2=80=9D.  i=
t may or may=20
not have patent  numbers on the  plate.  But the scale was
drawn by   Frank Conover.   This  Piano  had  26  bass=20
12 singles and 14  doubles.  And used the =E2=80=9CCable=E2=80=9D action.
=20
     When  Cable and Conover   merged   the agreement=20
included  that Conover would  draw a scale for a small=20
grand with the Cable name on it.=20
=20
   It cannot be compared to a =E2=80=9CConover=E2=80=9D because the smallest=
 =20
=E2=80=9CConover=E2=80=9D Piano  was 5ft.8.  Scale 77.  Only  3 or  4   5ft8=
s in=20
the world can ,  for that matter.
=20
    In listening to Del and reading his articles  I  have come up=20
with the following words about good Pianos that I try not to =20
forget  .
=E2=80=9C IT. S  THE  SCALE  STUPID  =E2=80=9D

Joe,  I am looking forward to working with you on=20
the tools   at the Museum in Jan..     =20

Regards to  All
Jack Wyatt
