The hitch pins
The hammers, felt for hammers
The making of felt—damper and
damper felt
The keys and key tops—ebony for
black keys
Miscellaneous Parts:
The pedals
The case foundation and the veneers
and various kinds of wood used for
veneers.
It is always of interest to know how
these parts are utilized for putting a
piano together, but this must be left for,
and be taken up, one by one, in a later
issue of The Music Trade REVIEW.
The very best to my readers for 1951.
