Re: [Experts] Kranich and Bach grand actionsDidn't know there was an "antique value" on Chronic & Barf's.......No, re-reading the original message, I see the art case.  However, art case or no, K&B's in pristine condition were never the shining star of their particular corner of the piano universe.  I've always found them matchless.  At least I, being a non-smoker, was matchless when faced with the prospect of tuning one.....almost made me take up smoking a time or two........

  The owner may want to know the effect of the replacing of original parts on the antique value.

             Although this piano is an odd ball I've worked on a few that sound?look/like this one. I don't think it impossible to make a new action for this piano & if it's that pretty it might be worth it. I think it would be a fun challenge & not all that diificult. Some new action brakets to lay out new rails on. Drill for the scale. Calculate acton key ratios. This could be done for a price. I'd like to hear others weigh in on this for your sake.

          So now the point, this customer has money and we are willing to rebuild the existing action or.... is there someone out there who could build a new action with conventional whippens, action brackets,etc to replace the old action. I understand this is nearly an impossible task but perhaps there is someone who could do such a thing.
      I look forward to your responces.

                                      Thank You,
                                                   Edward Mastin, RPT
