I have little doubt that a high-end vertical is not easy to sell for high $$. How did you advertise and how long were they on the market before sale? Oh, and BTW, did they say "Steinway & Sons" on the fallboard? Thanks. Terry Farrell In a thread earlier this year I posted that I have restored 3 beautiful Victorian uprights for clients to the tune of about $12,000 apiece. 2 of these were virgin Calif. pianos, one owner families. The boards were fine. Ivory was excellent on 2. Action wood not seriously degraded Awesome musical outcome. No, this isn't the same as selling them out right but selling had a part in getting them rebuilt. I'm finding the Victorian stuff is becoming increasingly attractive to buyers. However I don't usually buy spec projects in this vein of work anymore. It's a very narrow market but at least it's there at times. Know what I mean. Hey Terry you have uprights with new boards to sell. Did you? Dale ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
