Joe Goss ---------- From: Elian Degen J. <degen@telcel.net.ve> To: pianotech@ptg.org; MPT <MPT@talklist.com> Subject: Very Strange Piano Date: Tuesday, June 29, 1999 10:21 PM Hello List et All Today I was called to see a piano (Picture Attached Manufacturer Wilhem Spaethe Serial No 2777 City Gera, Reuss. ? ... where is that ? Model Höhe ... Presumed end last century, I could not find info about it. The owners asked me to restore it. I checked the piano, and amazingly Soundboard, Bridge, Crown, are in excellent condition, even as it is sound is superb. Excellent Keyboard condition Real Ivory and Ebony The owner says there are only 2 of them in the word. Needs whole set of strings. Pinblock and tuning pins. Hammers (which I would like to have custom made if possible the same as the Bass Strings) Needs dampers, center pins, and almost all the felt parts.. I will be grateful for any information on any similar situation, and about the piano makers and factory. After checking the instrument I consider it worth it but opinions are welcome Elian
