Dear List, I rebuilt a small 1925 Wurlitzer grand that spent 10 years in a cottage on Lake Erie with some of the windows cracked and no heat. I reluctantly took on the job - (one of those sentimental value things) and gave no guarantees. After reinforcing every cabinet and soundboard glue joint I could find - It's been 5 years now and no sign of trouble yet, stable tuning and actually sounds better than most new small grands I see these days. Regards, Bob Sadowski RPT Erie, PA ---------- > From: Susan Kline <skline@proaxis.com> > To: pianotech@ptg.org > Subject: Re: Cold weather coming up > Date: Tuesday, October 07, 1997 2:37 AM > > At 04:17 PM 10/6/97 -0500, you wrote: > >Dear List, > > > >I have a grand that I have rebuilt and it is going to have to spend this > >year in a pole barn.
