A technology-challenged=20 friend/technician asked me to post this for him, so I can't really answer yo= ur=20 questions. =20 However, to address the points of your posting, I am always happy to see a=20 family get a piano rather than an electronic keyboard any day. Even if it'= s an=20 old spinet, it's still better for that kid trying to learn to play than any=20 top-of-the-line keyboard. <<<<I pre-purchace-inspected a 35-year-old Aeolian spinet that totally=20 crapped-out and recommended that it was not even worth taking for free - and= they=20 passed on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL= ! =20 (A much better investment, wouldn't you agree?) Tom Sivak Sorry, I don't have any wippens for you, but I do have curiosity. What is=20 wrong with only a dozen wippens that replacement would make a 65-year-old sp= inet=20 functional? Is there sentimental value to the piano? =A0 I'm=A0always curious why it is that old pianos have such a difficult time=20 dying. I do this also - I'm currently band-aiding together a 90-year-old=20 microgrand action for a piano that I spent a good 20 minutes trying to convi= nce the=20 lady to have hauled to the landfill.......=A0(I'm talkin' gluing the keyfram= e back=20 together - it's totally trashed)=A0 :-(=A0=A0=A0=A0 Tomorrow I'll be doing a= n elbow=20 replacement job for another piano that I recommended for the landfill.=A0Alt= hough=20 Sunday was pleasant - I pre-purchace-inspected a 35-year-old Aeolian spinet=20= that=20 totally crapped-out and recommended that it was not even worth taking for=20 free - and they passed on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
