Dale, 
Speaking of 9 fters.   An organization I'm involved with here in=
 Pacifica, CA., just bought a Baldwin 9 fter from Phil Ford.  =
 Phil had Renner hammers on it at first but replaced them with=
 Ronsen Wurzen.   I remember you talking about lacquering the 1st=
 10 or so bass hammers.   What was your reasoning?   By the way,=
 Phil put an amazing amount of work into the piano and it sounds=
 great.

  Hi Diane
  Many depends on type things here. Currently I think you'd be=
 doing well to get 20 K It's hard to sell 9 ft's. The work will=
 be more "depends on" but could be 5 to 10 K with moving. How's=
 the case finish. That's another story! I work on 2 of these &=
 one is better than the other. Both Have Ivory & the bass strings=
 are dying as well. One had many center pin problems in the=
 entire action including the damper system.
  Dale
We have a customer who wants to sell his Yamaha CF dating from=
 about 1977.  
To be a really fine concert piano, it will need new action parts,=
 regulation and restringing.  (The pins are fine, but the bass=
 strings have lost tone and there is something spilled on some of=
 the treble strings, making them somewhat rusty in places.)
Any suggestions about it's current value and what it would take=
 to do the work?
Thanks for any help,
Diane
