It had been sitting out in a shed in the back of the church for a couple of years. She wanted to know if she had made a good purchase. Sound board looks good, it was maybe 10 cents flat. I opened it up, and the hammer felts were all new, the keytops were all new. The pins were tight, and she tuned up like a champ. someone had reconditioned that piano recently, and done a wonderful job. $200??? I think maybe she got a bargain. What do you think? >> This definitely could rank up there as a real bargain if everything is as you mentioned. Why did the church sell it? Bob Bergantino,RPT
