...I had an 1877 Style II in my shop on consignment this last year. This piano<BR>
had been rebuilt 20 years before, a straightforward rebuilding of the time. <BR>
It had a very substantial, powerful sound except on top where the lengths were<BR>
shorter. I restrung the top 1.5 octaves with Pure Sound stainless wire (Juan<BR>
Mas Cabre did the scale work), which brightened up the top some. That's a good<BR>
start. ... <BR>
