  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
