That's right, Susan. The piano, with Betsy Lynn (not Betsy Ross) on the fall board, must have been a high-end Grand Piano Company offering. <grin> It seems like a pretty typical piano, though not one I would choose to play, with everything in reasonable shape. No two string plain wires or an entire bass section of monochords. I've never had the <pleasure> of working on the Grand Piano spinet other folks have described. And yes, the music director mentioned more than once how she liked the tone of the piano. Anyway, knowing that money is an issue, I wanted to give some options.

The little green-plated ..... errrr ..... Grand Piano seemed to be in fairly good shape otherwise, and the people at the church preferred its tone to the other spinet. Reason enough to fix the bass bridge, which needn't be too hard to do. It's not like the piano was on the verge of a one-hoss-shay collapse, whatever its brand.
