 + 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
