We've had quite a bit of discussion on here in recent times about pianos with Birdcage actions. We've spoken about the difference between magnificent old Bluthner and Ibach birdcage pianos, and budget-level 1880s English spring & loop birdcage pianos. We also discussed the fact that Birdcage pianos continued to be made in England until some time in the 1930s. Recently I was able to take sdome pictures of one of these latter-day English birdcage pianos, to incorporate in the page of my website that deals with this topic ( http://www.davidboyce.co.uk/buying-a-secondhand-piano.php ) Just for interest's sake, I am attaching a couple of the pics here. Best regards, David. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
