You might want to talk to Steinway and see what they say about the antique value, or what they think the value might be. I would not replace every thing just on general principals, but I would look at every thing and see if things are in reasonable shape, then see what the customer would like to do. I don't believe in rebuilding every thing just because it is old. You might be able to make this piano play quite well without a full scale rebuild.

This was in production for a couple of years between 1872 and 1873 before the introduction of the Steinway B. I hope some of you are familiar with this piano. This piano appears to be in original condition , but is in need of restoration/ preservation. I'm looking for feedback on whether it would be best to restore the piano -new soundboard, pinblock,bridge caps action parts.etc. or preserve the the piano using as many of the original components as possible? I realize there will be no clear cut answer, but given the historic/antique nature of the instrument your thoughts will be appreciated. =20 Regards, Steve =20 Stephen Snyder Registered Piano Technician 342 Scotts Lake Road Salem, NY 12865 518-854-3888 =20 e-mail: shsnyder@sover.net =20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
