1881 Knabe Grand

[Ron Nossaman]

Hi Dan,

I tune one every year or so that's pretty close to this description. I
didn't record the serial number last time I tuned it, so I don't know the
exact vintage. It's been 'rebuilt', so there may not still be one. This
piano needs EVERYTHING; action, soundboard, bridge work, etc., but it isn't
likely that she will have it done. She's extremely rich, you see, and the
piano is furniture most of the time except when there's a party. Then she
wants it to be wonderful, but only through Saturday. You know the drill.
Seems like I remember an open face pin block (but maybe not). Does yours
have plate webbing, or is it open? 

Ron
