This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List I tune several early square pianos. Many have no iron frame and some are = dated in the late 1700s. There is a thread about tuning Square Grands. = Is there any difference between a square piano and a square grand? If it = is a genuine square piano it will have whale bone damper springs, vellum = hinges (instead of centres) and the damper wires will be attached = directly to the end of the key. It may (or may not) have a pedal but may = have hand selectors within the casework. The wrest pins will be long, = slender and wrought to a tapered flat to accept the oblong holed 'T' = hammer. These tuning pins could be either ranged along the back (spine) = or be in an ordered cluster on the treble end. It will be strung with = iron (two strings per note) and hit by a doe-skin covered hammer.
