That said, re-whatevering a piano [with a knowledgeable mentor looking over the shoulder] is, IMMHO, the best way to prepare yourself for troubleshooting pianoistical problems. Just the process of putting in new parts and regulating them will create playing problems which you _will_ see in the future. When you do see them, you'll not only know what the problem is, but how to fix it. I can't repeat what others have said _nearly_ enough - Get with the local PTG chapter in your area!! BTW, my first victim, er... ah..., learning experience was an 1888 Gilbert upright with double flanges. Still have some parts.
