Linden Piano made in Ireland

[Nancy McMillan]

Hi list,
Saw a "Linden", name on fallboard, today.  Inside this piano the name Rippen
was on the plate or what little there was of a plate.  This brand was/is
made in Ireland.  Couldn't believe how much plastic was in this thing.  The
keys were totally plastic.  The hammer butts were plastic and the flange was
a plastic wedge that snapped into a alum. u rail.
Half the butt flanges were popped out and didn't want to snap back in.

Told the customer that I didn't even want to attempt messing with it.

Anybody else ever see one of these do hickeys?  What was your experience?
