1945 "ELIZABETH, Colo. -At 63, Theodore H. Kleeman's musical
career is on the rocks, but don't get alarmed about it. Kleeman
has been making musical instruments as a hobby for several years -
First a xylophone, then a set of chimes, and now his masterpiece,
a piano. All are made from pieces of petrified wood.
In place of the taut metal strings that produce the tones of
a standard piano, Klceman's instrument contains three octaves
of petrified wood slabs. Each one is eight inches to a foot long,
an inch or so wide and carefully hewn to give the right tone.
Kleeman, a gold miner who turned nurseryman, started his hobby
after a great flood swept this part of Colorado in 1935.
Prowling over the ravaged countryside, he came upon an
intriguing piece of petrified wood and took it home.
When struck it gave forth a sonorous ring - the note G,
as Kleeman later found. Except for the satisfaction
of craftsmanship and from exhibiting his piano to callers,
Kleeman gets little good from it. He can't play a note."
