Paul,
    Thank you for writing. I'm still reading and digesting all of the
other posts but I thought I'd respond to yours right away. It is a
grand, not an upright. I'll be checking crown and down bearing and the
like as soon as I get the rest of the strings measured and removed and
the plate out. Thanks again!
