[pianotech] wing and sons upright

[James Grebe]

Those were called theatrical uprights and other attachments were connected 
to the pedals like a ukelano, felt mute.  Precursor of orchestrians geared 
for accompanying silent movies.

List,
Does anyone know anything about a 5 pedal Wing and Sons upright?   About a 
100 years old.   I haven't seen it, but 5 pedals are unusual...California 
piano...apparently...
