Actually I had a church do this.  Someone donated an old Kimball grand that
they gutted and refinished.  They bought a new Clavinova, removed it from
its case and fitted it in the front of the Kimball carcass.  The speakers
were placed back where the soundboard used to be.  Believe it or not this
replaced a Steinway S with loose pins to avoid rebuilding it.
