Upgrading to what? This piano should be reinventable to something better
then
can be had new for similar money. Why are they considering replacement
over
remanufacturing?

	Ron, 
	 A benefactor wishes to donate a fifteen year old Walnut
Steinway B in his father's memory. Your point is well taken, but in this
situation the church is not the party making the investment, and will be
a grateful recipient with hopes to turn the proceeds from the A toward a
much needed new sound system. 
	I too have seen money available for replacement of finer older
pianos when you can't get the music committee to find a few hundred
dollars for regulation.
