This was invented and first used by Mr. 'chickering in the year 1845, and from this invention, and in connection with the entire iron frame, Sprang all the excellence of the American Square Piano. It was not patented, and was immediately Copied by every Piano maker in the country. With out this circular scale the overstringing of Square Pianos would be almost an impossibility, as the bass strings running SO very obliquely would be brought together at the striking point, and the hammers could hardly be made to Operate at all. In fact, the adoption Of this scale, Which Mr. Chickering generously left unpatented for the benefit of the whole trade, has given to the Piano depth, power and tonal beauty. The invention Of the circular scale, in Short, opened the way for the Splendid qualities which distinguish the Piano of to-day, and which have given to the American Pianos their world-wide superiority over all foreign rivals.

- s***s (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
