Hi all- I take care of the pianos at an institution which is receiving as a gift a 1929 Bechstein 8'9" concert grand, Model E. Anyone ever work on one of these? It has a rocker action, which actually plays very well. The open pinblock is visibly cracked. but tunable, and the tone still sings, though there is minimal crown, Case and ivory is good to excellent. Any thoughts? Anybody dying to own such an instrument? --- David Graham <dcgrpt@earthlink.net>
