Piano guitar ready to go. Four piece spruce soundboard. Tulip wood back and sides. Pine neck which will be ebonised. Three piece walnut fingerboard. Walnut bridge and bindings. Spruce struts. Key tops for nut, saddle and tie block. Ebony keys for rosette somehow. Found a fitters card inside the piano. Passed on the 7th September 1915.
Two very ghost like soundboards made up from the piano soundboard. Getting two possibles is pretty good. One is lighter, laterally stiffer and more on the quarter, the other wider grained, off quarter, less stiff laterally, and heavier. The latter sounds more lively so will probably use this one. May take a bit more off it. Really stiff longitudinal. I think I have enough good wood to make a whole guitar from this piano.
Before the strings came off.
The last notes this piano will make until it becomes a guitar.
My dad always liked the look of the guitar before the polish.
