Henri de MONFREID (1879-1974). 2 L.A.S., Ingrandes and Paris June 2, 1956 and May 9, 1957, to Madame Pichot; 2 pages in-8, addresses on back with stamps (creases, small tear at bottom of 1st due to opening of letter). About his piano. 1956: he asks her to come and examine his Gaveau grand piano. 1957: for the repair, he suggests shifting the strings (with a sketch): "I would like, for example, the G to be replaced by the C." The latter shortened by its winding. The latter, shortened by its winding, could go on the floor above. I think in this way the old strings, minus those of an octave, can really be used like new"...
