Which is likely pre-blight chestnut. Interestingly, somewhat over 100 
years after the importation of the responsible fungus into this country, 
a blight resistant tree has finally been developed that some think will 
be able to successfully reestablish some small part of the vast old 
chestnut forests for commercial harvest. What amazing timing! I 
personally find it comforting that you have discovered the secret of 
piano design at just the right time to take advantage of the 
reestablishment of the wood that will return the art to it's past 
perfection. Congratulations.
