This review is from: Pierce Piano Atlas, 11th Edition (Hardcover) (Hardcover)

I was searching for the information on my old Chickering Square Grand Piano.
When I open it up I hope I can find the necessary information.
Too bad they don't supply needed information on tuners who no how to deal with these complex machines.
