Just tuned a Steinway L #225270 (1924)  The owner is thinking of selling it
and wants to know how much to ask.
Piano was partially rebuilt in FL several years ago.  This piano at one time
had a player action in it, so it is about a foot longer than normal.
It has new strings and tuning pins. Also hammers are new and could see quite
a bit of new felt. She says the plate was refinished.  The soundboard is
original and has a long crack next to bridge.  Piano works well and sounds
good.  It was also professionally refinished in dark wood color.
 I'm quite sure the pin block is original and the tuning pins are new. They
were not drivin down far enough. About 1/4 inch showing below the coils. The
coils look nice.
Any advice of sugestions?
