Mason & Hamlin # 9504

Screwstringers came in a number of sizes and configurations. This one is
known as Style B and is 7’ 5" long. The case style is more along the lines
of a European grand. To tune the piano a tuner can use the supplied wrench
(just visible clipped to the back of the cornice) or use the T hammer that
came supplied in the uprights. The cornice is removable by undoing two
locking screws to lift the cornice away exposing the heads of the ‘J’ Hooks
for tuning. Built in 1896 this must have been one of the last screwstringers made. The
legs and lyre apper original and are of the more modern Mason & Hamlin design.
