What are the parts that wear out most often? It's not the rims, plate, and legs, it's hammers/shanks/flanges, right? After a rebuild, which parts are 100 years old? If you follow your thought experiment through that way, I think you'll have your answer. Just like picking a factory for quality control and parts used, doing the same for a rebuilder gives you the results you want. We've all seen good and bad from both rebuilders and factories. --Cy-- Cy Shuster, RPT Albuquerque, NM www.shusterpiano.com www.facebook.com/shusterpiano
