Hello to Everyone,
The following items are needed for the PTGF Museum.
This will pretty well round out all the exhibit that I had
planned
1. A flat strung" Chickering" Grand. Jonas built his first
grand in 1837. I will consider any American flat strung.
This may be scale 14- 15- 17.
2. A " Winter " Spinet " the first" was built in 1935 # 118 - -
3. A " Weaver" Wood back Sp. (no iron plate). 1945/46 # 84 - - - .
" Tuning Systems "
Anything concerned the following systems
need parts.
1. C.C. Briggs. ( two tuning pins per string )
need parts
2, Wurlitzer " Uniplate" ( metal to metal pin )
3. " Daniel Maling White" A lever was used in
conjunction with each tuning pin
need parts
4. " Beale" system from Australia (medal to medal)
need parts.
5. " Wegman" medal to medal
6 " Mason & Hamlin" ( Screw Stringer )
7. " Brinsmead " Medal to Medal
I thought I could finish this Museum with-in
5 years. I am now in my eighth and still have a
way to go. And I may be getting a little slower.
It was built by Technicians for Technicians
for today and ever after
Regards to all,
And many thanks to all who have helped
create this Museum.
A special thanks to
Laura Olsen and Leon Spier
