Re: Crowley of London
Today I tuned John H. Crowley upright #3419. Good piano: massive iron frame, proper metal action standards, big angle for the bass resulting in longer strings.

Re: Scrine Piano
I tuned Henry D. Scrine, London birdcage #16138 (1880ish) yesterday, up over two semitones to modern pitch. Poor thing may or may not have survived, as the treble was sinking dramatically. It has oblong tuning pings and fairly functional overdampers. The fallboard decal says 48, Dawes Road, London, ...
