Strange Cable Tracker Bar is Solo Carola
By Don Barton
In response to the Cable tracker bar question, the tracker bar
that John Tuttle is inquiring about is a Solo Carola. It was a very
feeble attempt to add expression to the rolls. There were tabs that
held the hammers forward and when a note was to be accented, the
hammer would fall back.
I have seen only one unit. Most of them were removed by impatient
tuners who didn't want to be bothered with removing the unit in order
to tune. All in all, I think it was a bad idea.
