Mr.  Damphouse,  have you solved the problem of acquiring an action for
this piano yet?  If not, I would be interested in either making an offer
to buy the piano or submitting a proposal to replace the action.  We
routinely build actions in our shop and can deliver an action that plays
and performs just like the original.   Please reply as to what the
situation is at the moment.  Thanks, Robin Hufford RPT
