A Grinnell Piano Found
By Damon Atchison

If you read any of my other articles branching from my finding of this
piano, you'll know what someone has done to it.  The previous worker
installed a home-made suction box and also a home-made lighting system.
It was a real mess.  Luckily, they didn't get adventurous enough to
destroy the wind motor or stack.

The piano seems to have a standard action, except for the supply and
reservoir bellows.  They are different than any I've seen before.  The
supply bellows are behind a solid board, but there is no reservoir.  I
think that it may be in front of that board though, because I did see
another bellows, but that one wouldn't move.  The piano's cereal number
is 23185.  The company logo reads, "GRINNELL BROS.  DETROIT MICH -
WINDSOR ONT."

A lot of things are unhooked.  I really need to speak to someone who has
this exact same piano. (or has at least seen one)
