[pianotech] very old pianos

[Will Truitt]

About 10 years ago we put a Yamaha keyboard inside a Weber square grand,
with some case mods to accommodate difference in keyboard width, the body of
the digital piano, and refinishing of the Rosewood Case.  We quoted the
customer a handsome price, which she gladly paid.  She never calls me for
tunings, can't figure out why...

You send them to Sama? I love old beautiful uprights. See pic 1888 Weber

I think it's a great idea.  Like to know how you did that.  There are so
many old uprights with beautiful cases but very difficult to justify a
complete restoration job.

...I had a customer with a 124 year old english familt piano that was trash
inside, but had a wonderful cabinet, and she wanted to keep it for more than
a photo shelf.
So we put a Yamaha keyboard in it for her.
Might sound like heresy, but the customer was thrilled. ( see pix )
