    Mr Blees,

    My husband and I are looking at a 1914 Blasius and Sons 6'3" grand
piano.  It is being offered by a local (we live in Washington state)
technician, he is asking $9500.00 for the piano.

    This piano was totally rebuilt in the 60's, restrung, new pin plank,
block and pins, and hammers.  After it was rebuilt it was hardly used.  The
sound board and blocks are in excellent condition.  Mr. VanWinkle, the
technician, has put in new felts and did a total regulation.  He also went
through and did some fine details that he considered necessary to make the
piano the way he wanted it like adjusting the  pedals.  When asked when and
what the next repairs he would expect would be he replied that in about 20
years we would be looking at facing the hammers.

    My husband and I are novice at purchasing a piano and would love to have
your opinion on the value of this piano.  I realize that without actually
seeing the piano it may be a difficult task, but we would like a ballpark
figure if possible.  We like the piano, but not if he is asking more than
what it is worth.

    Thank you.
