This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment How marvelous to replace all action parts, but what on earth must one charge for such a thing??????????? This Story and Clark is 100 years old, and most of the action parts are still quite tight, though I will have to do some repinning. I'm replacing hammers, damper felts, damper lever felts, back rail cloth, rest rail cloth, let off button felts, cleaning out all the spring grooves, springs, and lubricating the grooves. The keyboard is being redone by Merle Sanford, and is ivory, and David Geiger is restringing the piano, plugging all the tuning pin holes and redrilling. This is costing a bunch of bucks, and I can't imagine what one would charge for a complete restoration. I'd sure be interested in comments from those who have vastly more experience than I. I tried to get out of this job, but the owner wanted me to do it, and Wim Blees finally cajoled me enough to risk it- so I am no expert at this stuff, and normally seem to underprice my work. What would a "complete restoration" less case work, cost in this world???????? les bartlett ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
