BTW Denise, when you say "poor wire" what do you mean?

For many years I had logical formulas for arriving at a reasonable figure, but those methods no longer serve. The influx of PSO and our regrettable economic situation have skewed the field. I know of far more pianos for sale than people looking for them right now, too. The piano in question is 1929 S&S model M. Board and bridges adequate. Restrung in 70's with poor wire. Original block with size 3 pins. Original action -- sluggish to the point of being unplayable. Case refinished in ebony, but done carelessly. I'd welcome your opinions of this instrument, but even more valuable would be to know your thought process. Also, I'd like to know exactly what years they impregnated the center pin bushings. Just curious, they're easy enough to spot. Thanks . . . Denise =
