Seek Kurtzmann Grand Fallboard & Fingerboard
By Julian Burke

Hello All, I am in need of a fallboard and fingerboard (perhaps other
minor parts) that is missing from a 1930s Kurtzmann 9' grand piano
which I recently purchased.  Any help?

What is interesting about this piano is that it came from the stage
of the Alumni Gym here in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Rachmaninoff
performed his _last_ public performance.  Rachmaninoff may very well
have practiced on this piano while waiting for his own Steinway to
arrive!  In any event, this piano was in his presence.
