+ Hi Pete;
+
+ I have a woodward cabinet grand player piano. This piano is in rough
+ but repairable condition. I know very little about what all the parts
+ of the piano are called so please excuse my ignorance on the subject.
+ The serial num. I believe is 32940. It has casted into the metal part
+ in the back that the strings are hooked to it says "new improved scale
+ with patent double repeating action fully warrented". On the wood bar
+ that all the hammers rest on is a decal that says"pattented vertical
+ grand french repeating action". There is also a sticker inside the
+ piano, The Offical Stamp of the National Association of Music
+ Merchants.
+
+ Also where you put the roll to be played there is a metal tag wich
+ lists several pattent numbers starting with 677059 thru 1280319. I
+ plan to fully rebuild this piano in time but I have long way to go and
+ a lot of litturature to read first.Any info you can give me would be
+ greatly appreciated.
+
+ Thank you
+
+ Dan Happ
