[CAUT] Steinway D

[David Love]

You're not really comparing with a new one but an already rebuilt one less the value of the D that you have that you can sell. still probably better to rebuild what you have if you can take the uncertainty of the outcome if you have something specific in mind.

How much money would it take to replace this piano vs. rebuild it? Even if
you think you don't need to replace it now, the school may grow in the
future, but the capital outlay funding may not be available then. I'd do
eveyrthing to keep the inventory.
 
For the price of anything comparable you can afford to rebuild this
instrument from the ground up including new soundboard, backaction, keyboard
and finish. It's a lot of hassle and work (if you will do it), but it is
worth it IMO.

We own a D, which was built in 1972, and is a total lemon.  I am thinking
that I want to surplus it, because if it is rebuilt I can't be sure it will
be a good piano.  I would welcome any opinions on this!

 

Thanks,
