To Del Can you tell me your vesion of what a complete rebuild would be? My understanding of a complete rebuild is to; restring the piano, replacing the pinblock, replacing the hammer heads, damper felts,and key bushings and possibly replacing or completely overhauling other sets of parts as well. Even refinnishing the piano can be considerd par of the rebuild. This is mostly taken from THE PIANO BOOK. I've been using this as my reference and I have to say that everything that I have read and quoted has been done to this piano. The shop I'm getting this piano from has been in business for 50 years. I do have to say I don't think they know the fair market value for this piano and others in their shop. They are sticklers for perfection. Del, thankyou for all of your knowledge, You're a true professional in this world pianos. Hats off.
