do try to keep up on these things.I thought your assesment of the the =
situation was right on many cases i.e the salvage value and starting =
over from scratch Big DITTOS.A world class instrument deserves a first =
class REDOO!Considering 88 grand being the cost of a new one It is my =
opinion that a Stwy D s value after such a job could easily fetch 60 =
thousand or more assuming that its drop dead gorgeous tonally and =
musically.So it really doesnt matter to an extent what the cost is =
except someone has to pay the bill . The other Major factor in  all of  =
this is  the market your dealing in .Something is worth what the local =
market will bear but considering web page sales I believe you could =
reach out and find clients.A complete rest. as described above I mean =
complete with belly work ,back action, new action (Not a  stanwood redo =
but excellent thorough job plus a first rate finish will price out =
between 2o and 30 thousnd depending who and where you have the work =
done.Factor in your salvage cost and, well you do the math. It is still =
worth the trouble.An awesome piano for HALF the price of new =
.Hummmm.Makes sense to me.Even if you tack on new key sticks and other =
action designing etc. it still feasable dont you think.Crunch your other =
senarios through this filter and tell me if I,m in the ballpark or =
perhaps this has been shock therapy to some . Dale Erwin
