A criação


Esta inacreditável caixa de ferramentas para consertos de pianos foi criada e aperfeiçoada no decorrer de 30 anos por Henry Studley. Carpinteiro e pedreiro que trabalhava para a Smith Organ Co., e depois para o Poole Piano Companhia de Quincy, Massachusetts.

Usando diversos tipos de madeira, incríveis sistemas de roldanas e encaixes perfeitos, ele conseguiu fazer uma verdadeira obra-de-arte que contém mais de 300 ferramentas. Quando fechado, e pendurado em uma parede, tem aproximadamente 39 polegadas por 20 polegadas com uma profundidade 9 polegadas e quando abre tornar-se 40 polegadas por 40 polegadas. É feito de mogno, jacarandá, nogueira, ébano e madrepérola, materiais que provavelmente foram retirados da Poole Piano como sucata.

 


Studley morreu em 1925, após ter se aposentado aos 80 anos, o case Studley foi emprestado pelo neto, Peter Hardwick, como parte de uma exposição, na Smithsonian Institution do Museu Nacional de História Americana, até que ele foi comprado por um colecionador privado e o atual proprietário continua a emprestar para o Smithsonian.

    Not only the Square and Compass, but a closer observation reveals the Junior and Senior Wardens tools as well. It also appears to have the pillars with the celestial and terrestrial globes.

    That is one awesome set of tools.
