Well....... maybe next time you tune it. Not a real biggie - just always =
curious. Don't move heaven and earth.

  Terry:

  Yes, it's a screw stringer and the best data I can find indicate it =
was made in 1887.  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!

  Yes it will, but I forgot to add the part about praying for rain, as =
in thunderstorm, and hoping for a direct lightning strike. 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.)

    I have a 115-year-old Mason & Hamlin upright in my living room.  =
Will that work?

    What does a new one cost?  $100,000?

    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!

      I have a customer with a Baldwin D ,built in 1943 , in fair =
condition. He needs a replacement value for insurance purposes. Any =
ideas on a fair median value here?  Thanks.
