This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Yes John and List My latest candidate for The Burning I came across this morning. Properly I suppose it could be called an "Upright (vertical) Forte Piano. Made by John Ward of London as No.8849 there was a note pencilled on the hammer rest "Don't raise pitch 7th July 1917" - So this piano is long overdue for The Burning! I found it at A=392.3, WOOD framed with a strange pairing system of strings - middle pair on one hitch pin, outer pair over two hitch pins, over-damper vellum hinged UNIT (which I had to remove to get my long rubber wedge in to the strings) Oblong tuning pins - so I used my oblong 'T' hammer (on an upright? - yes, on an upright), brass-comb butt centre plate. With all that wood it should burn quite well.

Now you've stepped in it! I'm sure everyone on this list has at least one candidate! We might burn the town down and block the river if we could get them all over there! ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
