Cold weather coming up

[robert sadowski]

Dear List,
     I rebuilt a small 1925 Wurlitzer grand that spent 10 years in a
cottage on Lake Erie with some of the windows cracked and no heat.  I
reluctantly took on the job - (one of those sentimental value things) and
gave no guarantees.  After reinforcing every cabinet and soundboard glue
joint I could find - It's been 5 years now and no sign of trouble yet,
stable tuning and actually sounds better than most new small grands I see
these days. 

Regards,
Bob Sadowski RPT
Erie, PA
