The next meeting will be at Allan Day's shop on April 8th. He is restoring a 1790 Longman & Broderip square fortepiano from London and an 1876 Steinway A.
The Steinway got a new back action to replace the old screw-in damper wires. The old sostenuto used a cord that got snagged by metal tabs on the top flanges. That system has been scrapped and a modern sutenuto bar is now being adapted to the old action. Come and see the work in progress.
Meeting Date: April 8th
