Here is one of my favorite rolls showing off the wonderful power and balance of this 5ft 4in Chickering. Whoever designed the scaling for this piano really did quite the job. I've never heard such a large sounding and well balanced baby grand.
Here is Frank Milne entertaining us with:
1.) You Hit The Spot
2.) So This Is Heaven
3.) Cling To Me
4.) If You Love Me
5.) Get Thee Behind Me Satan
Enjoy!

This is either a sloppy recut OR it's one of Milne's kitchen table masters, one way or another it sounds great!

Why do you think it's a sloppy recut????

@@Yalie06405 Chords sound a bit rough. I automatically jump to think it was one of those Play-Rite cuts, I hate them with a passion. I assume by your reaction that you have an original and that's just Milne's late mastering coming through.

@PiotrBarcz OH, this one is a Klavier recut. I think some of the harshness just comes out of the original hammers. I may try to voice them down a little but inclined to just replace them.

@@Yalie06405 Klaviers were good cuts, so I think this is one of Milne's late hand made masters that had some sloppiness to them giving them that very loose sound. The hammers are fine actually! I like them, bright enough not to get lost in the room!
