    It must be my month for old relics.First an 1880 bechstein, 1870 9 =
ft steinway ugh.=20
    However I just took in this amazingly well preseved piano for some =
light rebuilding. ie. strings ,shanks hammers, dampers etc. The board =
and bridges in remarkably good condition with power & sustain. The down =
size is that it has the screw in damper wires & I must remove them to =
string & replace the felt. What does one do other than spending half a =
day unsrewing the bloomin thingees?
     Dale

One takes one's wire cutters and one cuts the bloody things off. Then =
one makes a new tray and gets rid of the things.
