Michelle, OK - now - you mention that other work has been done. Any idea as to when? Range of work that was performed? Also helpful would be to know when the instrument was built (goes to the style of forefinishing that was being done at the time). Nothing happens in a vacuum. Before making changes, figure out where things might have been originally, then work from there to where things are before deciding what changes to make. Remember the rule of 7: at each step at which a fault (in this case, potentially a fault in either manufacture or remanufacture) is discovered, it takes seven times as much effort and energy to make right as it does when the fault is discovered at the immediately preceding step. Best.
