Ken Caswell's Feurich Welte Piano
By Terry Smythe

John McClelland says about the Feurich piano, "It certainly delivers
incredible results!"

Yes!  By chance, many years ago, I had the privilege and pleasure of
visiting Ken Caswell in his home and I heard this marvellous piano.
Visually, it is just a modest, plain case piano, but the moment it
speaks, it can generate leaky eyeballs in the twinkling of an eye.

The performance emerging from this instrument is quite remarkable.
It really is a "Wow!" piano.

Regardless of what one may think about authenticity, the reality is
that performance enhancements are a matter of conventional business
practice.  If these companies were still in business today, imagine
the performance possibilities that would now be enjoyed by all.  As
Bob Taylor recently stated, one's own ear is the best test.
