I too have a Haddorff  57" upright, beautiful oak cabinet, built 1910.  The
strings are also rusty but not so bad that I couldn't get the scale off it.
 My wife won't let me sell it because of the cabinetry.  I guess I'll end up
rebuilding it.  It is a very nice piano.  I'll have to bring my micrometer
home tomorrow. Just thought I'd let you know you're in luck.
