To take pictures of the inside, I'd have to remove a = lot of .......uh, "pretty things" from the top. I'll see about doing = that soon. I tune it about every 5 years or so whether it needs it or = not. If all pianos stayed in tune like that one, we'd both be working = at 7-Eleven! dave __________________________________________ David M.

Or, anyone in = your household have the nasty habit of smoking in bed? BTW, any pictures of the piano? I own a couple M&Hs, but they are 1912 = & 1914. Is yours a screw-stringer? A pic with top & bottom panels = removed? (Kinda like Janet, but with the bottom off also.) Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 From: David M.

My homeowners policy is a "replacement value" policy. If my 20 year = old TV and my 30 year old stove burn up in a fire, State Farm will = replace my TV and stove with a similar model new TV and stove. Likewise = my worn out recliner - it burns up and I get a new one. Why would a = piano be any different? Everyone should stash a worn-out 90-year-old Mason & Hamlin upright = in their living room. And have a replacement value homeowners insurance = policy. Your house burns up and you get a new $25,000 piano!
