This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Friday, I had the dubious honor of "tuning" a 1939 "Musette". Sheesh! It = was parallel stung w/a single bridge/giant hockey stick, (you could hit = the puck from anywhere on the ice!). More bi-chord wound stings than I = wanted to count! Harmonics----nothing matched! Real fun, to say the = least. The poor owner had bought it at a "University Sale", for $2,000! = (Gawd, I hate those sales!...even more now!) The odd thing was that the = piano was constructed very well. Nice Ivory, action was nice, = throughout. Played nice, just sounded like crap! The whole thing closed = up like a square grand. I hope this was the only one ever made, so that = none of you have to try and work on anything like it. BTW, it had a = grand lyre, w/only two functioning pedals, (the middle rod was attached = to a spring on the underside of the keybed. Lovely! :-( I usually relish working on the weird, but not this one! Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
