I've got one in the shop now that is similar to what Terry is describing. It will go back to "the old home place in Tennessee" and be a time machine for the memories of those who are in the family. > Dan j > Terry Farrell > Piano Tuning & Service > Tampa, Florida My customers with square grands often ask me to estimate the value of their antique instruments. I tell them I can estimate the piano's value as a musical instrument but not its value as an antique. Anyone with any ideas? > > Carman Gentile RPT > > Eureka, > > Humboldt County, CA You can suggest that today's junk might be tomorrow's treasure. You've got the right idea. Dan j
