Steinway uprights

[Farrell]

Measure downbearing angles - front, top of bridge, and rear, and measure crown between all accessible ribs. You may well need a board.

Silly me, I thought your post stated "solve" the problem. You state "address" the problem. Yes, sell it. That's what I did with mine - traded it for a decent grand - best trade I ever made.
