Hickman Grand Piano Action
By Terry Smythe

Robbie asks:

Back about 1991/92, Dick Howe arranged a rebuild of the Hickman grand
piano action.  It was displayed at the 1992 Chicago AMICA Convention,
and extensive articles by Dick about it appeared in the May/Jun 1992
AMICA Bulletin.  I understand the rebuild was done as a joint effort
by Jeff Morgan and John Zeiner, both of Allentown, PA.

Hope this helps a little.

Regards,

Terry Smythe
