Dear Friends,

Thanks for all of your comments.  I expected a wide variety of opinions. =
 Here is a little more detail about the piano:  Serial # 26784 It has a =
full plate with agraffes all the way to the top note.   The soundboard =
does not go all the way around the rim.  There is a cutoff area with a =
tensioning bar in the bass section. It is an 85 note keyboard. Tubular =
action rails with capstan screws not rockers. 2 pedals no sostenuto.  =
Rosewood case with carved legs similar ro those found on a square grand =
piano.  Old style damper posts with no screw sockets. =20

The piano is in a private home.  My  customer would like to restore or =
preserve the piano for her own use and possibly donate it to a musical =
organization in the future or perhaps a museum.  My customer is trying =
to determine whether the piano would be more valuable as an original =
instrument or a restored instrument. =20

Here is how I plan to proceed:  1.Talk to Steinway 2. Try and determine =
if the piano is in original condition.  3. Give my client the pro's and =
con's of each approach if the piano is determined to be in original =
condition and proceed from there.

Thanks again for all of your responses.  I'll try and report back when =
and if my client makes a decision.

Regards,
Steve
