Technical Data and Photos: Photos: We ask our contributors to submit technical data also: string scales, case measurements, plan view photographs with reference dimensions, etc. We will also provide data sheets in the future.

Membership Types: In the future there will be two kinds of access to this site, free and paid. Everyone will be able to sign up, and after signing up, may upload and download data and photographs. However, the photographs will only be available to free users in low resolution. In order to help with the establishment and maintenance of the site, a small annual fee will be charged for those who need full functionality, access to available full resolution photographs, etc.

Other Database Sites:This site accepts data and photos for all pianos, from the first Christofori to the most modern custom instrument. If you are submitting data on a piano built before and including 1860, please also submit that data to www.earlypianos.org, also called "Clinkscale Online." This site is dedicated to only antique, pre-modern pianos. Those familiar with the outstanding project of the late Martha Clinkscale, "Early Pianos, " will appreciate that this ongoing online database is based on the pianos published in her two volume list of historic pianos, but now it is an online database project which will accept your pre-1860 piano submissions, as well.
