I know where there's 2 in the same home(15 minutes from here)..1 pre-Civil War(1843) Chickering and a 1873 S&S. Neither of them are playable, but they are impressive as far as wood workmanship. One problem is the owner of these 2 thinks he has 'priceless antiques' on his hands. They may be, once fully restored. Unfortunately, this owner is not interested in hearing that their 'value as is' resembles 'not much'. Too bad. Talk about a project for 'da rook'... -Phil Bondi tito@philbondi.com
