I expected a wide variety of = opinions. Here is a little more detail about the piano: Serial # 26784 = It has a full plate with agraffes all the way to the top note. The = soundboard does not go all the way around the rim. There is a cutoff = area with a tensioning bar in the bass section. It is an 85 note = keyboard. Tubular action rails with capstan screws not rockers. 2 pedals = no sostenuto. Rosewood case with carved legs similar ro those found on = a square grand piano. Old style damper posts with no screw sockets. =20 The piano is in a private home. My customer would like to restore or = preserve the piano for her own use and possibly donate it to a musical = organization in the future or perhaps a museum. My customer is trying = to determine whether the piano would be more valuable as an original = instrument or a restored instrument. =20 Here is how I plan to proceed: 1.Talk to Steinway 2. Try and = determine if the piano is in original condition. 3. Give my client the = pro's and con's of each approach if the piano is determined to be in = original condition and proceed from there. Thanks again for all of your responses. I'll try and report back when = and if my client makes a decision.
