Dear Jerry,  May I use some of these pictures in a book Art Reblitz
and I are doing?  The Berry-Wood fallboard must date from the time
Berry-Wood thought they would abandon Kansas City and relocate to
New York.

As there are plugged holes in the sounding board, but no screw holes
in the back, it seems likely that this piano was made as an Engelhardt
keyboard piano, intended to have an endless roll mechanism put on the
back, but that didn't happen.  Somehow this piano -- envision an
Engelhardt piano all set to become a Peerless endless-roll coin piano
-- never became such, and was sold to Berry-Wood.  Grinding down the
name cast in the frame is a rather clumsy procedure, which would
indicate that probably this was a stray instrument rather than one of
dozens or hundreds of Engelhardt pianos subjected to this treatment.

I will give the matter some thought when I add the info to the book
Art and I are doing, and I'll also compare what I can of the case
(such as the form of the legs) with pictures of Peerless and Berry-Wood
pianos.  The idea of an Engelhardt relationship, or some sort of
a relationship, with Berry-Wood is not new, but this is nice tangible
evidence!
