    We've just received a turn of the century Bluthner grand that once
    belonged to one of the School of Music's earliest piano technicians.
    The cabinet is rosewood, but sadly the legs and lyre aren't
    original, and don't do the instrument any favors.

    

    I'm not looking for originals, just some heavy turned faux bois
    Rosewood legs and lyre; reasonable condition/price, that we could
    adapt in order to share this instrument in public. 

    Rosewood seemed to be the "mahogany" of the mid 1800's and there
    were no doubt many mediocre instruments that may have been outlived
    by their woodwork. 

    

    Does anyone have or know of a "bone-yard" that may have some? 

    

    thanks
