I will be looking at an old Broadwood Square Grand (I am told anyways) that has been laying around collecting dust for about 80 years. I am told its from early on in the 1800's I will not be taking on this job, just wanted to see it and help the customer decide whether or not to send it to be restored. Was just wondering if there was anything in particular outside of the normal things we look for in modern pianos, that I should pay particular attention to. By that I mean like things that might make this instrument valuable from an historic point of view, peculararities in basic structure I should look out for, or case work stuff that might be of particular interest. This is not my forte, so any help you can send along will be an aid to the fellow who owns this instrument. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway
