Hello Listees, I've a question for those of you who have working knowledge of old, Really Olde, Chickerings. I'm looking at an approx. 8' Chickering, #20961, late 1850's as a potential for myself, in my home. It needs everything, flat strung (is that right, Ron?) haven't seen the action, but am wondering what potential pitfalls this instrument may have that other rebuilds in general might not. One area of concern (I've heard) is that there may be difficulty in removing the plate. Anyone know of this as a consistent problem in old Chickering grands? Anything else I may want to watch out for? Thanks all, William R. Monroe
