---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I worked on an Erard from 1917 yesterday. I was surprised to learn that it was only from 1917, because the action was somewhat alien to me. Definitely not a modern action. Isn't it true that Erard was stubborn in adopting modern technology? The "backchecks" are little tongues that stick through the repetition levers. The hammers are shaped like an upright's. Though I did not have time to remove the mechanism--given that it needed a 100 cent + pitch raise(new strings, no problem), I was a bit short on time--I could tell it needed work. Everything seemed either in good original condition, or replaced, but it needs regulation in a big way. It plays like a tank, and has a few problems. Anyone worked on one or more of these beasts? I'm sure Ric, Andre, and our other European brothers have seen more of these than they'd care to remember...How it works seem pretty self-explanatory, but any tips would be appreciated.
