Thanks to all of you who contributed to this nice thread.

Here a few thoughts:

There is a market for large rebuilt concert pianos, but it is kind of a
niche. Concert halls, universities, rental houses, etc.

What if the rebuilt piano was recorded (different pieces of different
styles) and the sampler CD was sent to a lot of universities and concert
hall with the option of piano exchange. The university could get this
piano if they have a similar piano they need rebuilt. So instead of
getting their piano rebuilt, they would get this piano and they would
know exactly what they are getting. Sometimes people are reluctant to
have instruments rebuilt vs new one because they are afraid the
rebuilding won't match or surpass a new one. With the demo CD
(inexpensive advertising) one could get the ball rolling and get a
supply of Ds to rebuild at the same time. The first one is probably
going to be the hardest to sell, but I would bet this would be a good
way to sell them.

Just a suggestion,
