[pianotech] Howard C171 #42733

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

Hello all,
I had a customer call asking me about a "Howard" Grand Model C171, serial 
number 42733.  I suggested with that model and serial number information it 
was probably a "Samik" product.  They had called Gibson and been told it was 
a 1959 product, but whomever it was had looked in Pierce under Howard and 
didn't read the description that those numbers were for spinets and 
consoles.

Any one have an idea as to age and manufacturer?

Thanks in advance,

Ken Gerler
