Published in The Piano Technicians Journal (vol. 65, no. 2, Feb. 2022, pp 15-18):  The first half of an article I wrote about my journey in completing a replica of an 1816 fortepiano by the famed piano builder Nannette Streicher that was begun by a mentor and friend, Margaret Hood, but who sadly passed away too young before its completion.  Interestingly, the veneer of Cuban mahogany comes from a log, gifted to me by a Miami sculptor in my days there, that  I sent to Margaret and that she sawed herself for the veneer.  Now it has come back to me.  The instrument debuted at the Boston Early Music Festival in 2019 and is now part of my personal collection.
