Description
Excerpt from Modern Piano Tuning and Allied Arts: Including Principles and Practice of Piano Tuning, Regulation of Piano Action, Repair of the Piano, Elementary Principles of Player-Piano Pneumatics, General Construction of Player Mechanism, and Repair of Player Mechanism
The construction of the piano has not in this volume been treated with minuteness of detail, for'this task I have already been able to perform in a former treatise; but in respect of the sound board, the strings, the hammers and the action, the subject-matter has been set forth quite elaborately, and some novel hypotheses have been advanced, based on mature study, research and experience. Here also, however, the theoretical has been justified by the practical, and in no sense have I yielded to the temptation to square facts to theories.
