Hi Stéphane and Quentin Havent checked out the action yet, but I assume its the Patent action and I'll check around for the serial number in there for sure. Stephane, I'd love to have a copy of the regulation sheet you have. Everything is really dirty.. but it looks like absolutly all parts are origionals. I'll be starting a basic look through tommorrow. Cheers RicB Great, Ric ! If you want, I have a paper on how to regulate the Bluthner patent action. If that piano has that action yet. Dunno about the serial. Best regards, Stéphane Collin. Quentin writes: When you'll be able to move the action out, maybe you'll find something = written on the hammers, or on the keys concerning the date this piano = was released from the factory. Did you already check the action? How does it look? I suppose it is the patented action with springs and silk cords. I've seen only one since then, and I can't remember how this system = worked. Bye, Quentin
