Hello All,  I recently got an upright Steinway "V/P" made in 1914.
It is (actually was, as it is gutted) a temponomic (Themodist?).  Does
this mean it is a style V type player?  I have heard that there may be
a historian at Steinway that has access to original sale info.  Is this
true?

Secondly, I have been wondering about differences in the quality of dry
hot glue.  The stuff I have purchased from the leather supply house
seems to last longer than Schaff's.  I can give no information on
strength but, obviously, I am interested in this as well.

Lastly, on his web site D.L. Bullock talks about re-crowning soundboards.
Does anyone, Mr. Bullock included, have any information about this
practice?

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season,
