Just a follow up Mike. The piano I'm working on was made in 1918. I found the date on the keys. This piano has been painted by a local artist. I will send some photos shortly. Oh…... sorry for calling you shortly.

I checked my photos of the completed project (finished it about 5 years ago) and found that the dampers fill the treble section completely, from strut to strut, but there are none in the high treble. There was also a name penciled on the inside of the keyslip, but it turned out to be the name of the owner, from when she had it refinished some 35 years ago. > > Mike > > On 11/14/2011 8:45 AM, Al Guecia/Allied PianoCraft wrote: >> Mike, as I'm looking again, It looks lie you haven't installed the dampers yet and probably the same as you're piano. >> >> Al - >> High Point, NC >> >> >> >> On Nov 14, 2011, at 9:16 AM, Mike Spalding wrote: >> >>> Hi Al, >>> >>> As near as I can tell, your piano is identical to this one. Serial number 66544 is stamped on soundboard at the bass, WN&G action shifts to the left, no name anywhere on the piano.

There are serial numbers are in two places, (#94710) one on the plate (between the tenor and last treble) on one stamped on the soundboard (bass above the damper guide rail). There is a #2 cast in the plate nose, but no name on the plate. It's has a Wessel, Nickel & Gross action, the nose of the case is squared and the piano shifts (una corda) to the left. Bass & tenor has agraffes. >>>> >>> >>> <Stringing 006.jpg> >> > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
