Hallet, Davis & Co. Upright
|
Instead of the usual bridge pins, these pianos had agraffes screwed into the bridges to both align the strings and set the bearing. In order to try to balance out the down bearing, the holes in the agraffes were positioned in such a way as… |
Heintzman Transposing Upright
|
Very similar to the Norris & Hyde but with one note less than an octave to choose from. The indicator is on the front of the high C which is aligned with a scale attached to the key slip to show where you are. |

Ivers Upright
|
W.H. Ivers. Not Ivers and Pond but Boston made. A rosewood case and real ivory. |
Jacob Doll Giraffe Upright #45620
|
