The 5’ 8” only. The rest become planters. Would it come complete with an apprentice? Or would that be an option….

I'll find one and donate it to you. :) You pay for moving of course.

If this conversation continues I might have to track the thing down and buy it myself. (And look for an apprentice at the same time….)

Well.... we had two in our small area. One would be a fluke and two is a red flag for future consideration. That's how I see it.
Beside there are many other candidates far more worthy of this hypothetical scenario being considered. You Know?

I do not remember that Brambach's were known for plate failure. That would certainly make one hesitate before taking a project on. Perhaps it would be an argument for lowering the overall tension on the piano. I wonder if the plate problems were a result of a design issue or a casting issue? Or both? How many of these have you actually come across in your years of rebuilding? Is it enough to make a broad generalization? We sometimes have to be careful about extrapolating from a limited sample: There were many hundreds of thousands of these pianos produced.

Yeah, I take the point but but my point is that with out the plate... its a pile of firewood with a piano shaped boat anchor attached. Yes one needs a nose to work on or a piano ;)
