This one was built between 1929 and 1930. I'm not familiar with this model and am wondering if there are any peculiarities that might make it expensive to maintain or difficult to regulate. I'm advising a university on this matter as the owner is considering gifting the piano to the school. It is in good condition overall. Sound board and strings look good. Pin block is solid and the overall pitch is flat about 25 cents. The action is very sluggish and would need a full regulation. The hammers have about 1/16 to 1/8 inch wear on them. ANY info on this piano would be helpful, including a ball park market value. Thanks in advance! P Jenkins -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
