Just ran into this instrument tonite... couldnt help myself so I bought it on the spot. Wont say for how much as I really dont know whether I've paid too much or got it cheap. Its functional but will need quite a bit of work to come up to snuff. Pin block is more or less shot and I suppose the old board really has seen far better days. Looks very nice tho.? ? The thing is from 1850 or so... serial number 18XXX? ? http://www.pianostemmer.no/images/Pleyel.jpg? ? Anyone having any good words of advice for me please be sure to share them either in public or in private.? ? Cheers?
