Hickman Piano Action
By Larry Lobel

Would Jim Brady post a diagram and/or description of Clarence Hickman's
improved design for piano actions?  This would be of great interest
to me, and undoubtedly to other MMD'ers.

 [ Terry Smythe wrote in 990412 MMD: "Back about 1991/92, Dick Howe
 [ arranged a rebuild of the Hickman grand piano action.  It was
 [ displayed at the 1992 Chicago AMICA Convention, and extensive
 [ articles by Dick about it appeared in the May/Jun 1992 AMICA
 [ Bulletin.  I understand the rebuild was done as a joint effort
 [ by Jeff Morgan and John Zeiner, both of Allentown, PA."  -- Robbie
