Pratt, Read & Co.. Inc., Ivoryton.
Conn., has mailed to the more than
three thousand dealers and technicians
who have requested wall charts of their
keys and actions, a drawing of a grand
action regulating block for use in
regulating grand actions.
This block was designed by Charles
Frederick Stein, Vice President of the
Ivoryton firm, and is similar to one
he has used in his factory and labor-
atory for years. Its chief advantage is
that it is of tremendous aid in regulat-
ing grand keys and actions on the
bench rather than in the piano itself.
On several of the tours Mr. Stein has
made for Pratt, Read for the purpose
of teaching piano mechanics to the
technician, he has brought this grand
action regulating block. So much in-
terest has been shown in it that it
—
was decided to make as wide a distri-
bution as possible. Anyone interested
who has not received a copy may do
so by writing to Pratt, Read & Co. at
