I own a "Crown" made in 1904. It's oak and the legs are  S shaped. Sort =
of a half lyre. It's beautiful  to look at and sounds pretty good =
(original strings and hammers) I paid $75 for it in 1972. What a pity =
someone would butcher  one of these great uprights. Does anyone know if =
Geo. Bent made any grands?

    Says it all. I have a VERY nice lady customer with a
    Geo. P. Bent, "Crown", upright, which suffered
    "modernization" some years ago. It is all there, and
    in excellent restorable condition, excepting for the
    legs: which were replaced with pine 2x2's.
         Any assistance will be greatly apprecated! Am
    willing to purchase a similar instrument ( preferably
    in un-salvageable condition ) solely for the purpose
    of acquiring these legs.

         Thank You!

          If I'm not mistaken these pianos had a round flute leg & =
usually Oak. Is this an oak piano. It also weighs a ton.
