 I usually have several being rebuilt at all times.  I have often been a year
 behind trying to get them all completed.  We do not fix up or refurbish.  We
 do all new piano actions, recrown the soundboards, restring and refinish.
 We seldom have one to sell because we are so busy doing pianos for
 customers.  Our finished product looks and sounds exactly like Grandma saw
 and heard it when she bought it new. >>
                                                                                
       Well said. You must be one of a very, very small handful of 
technicians ,who has discovered the infintessimal market for a 4-8 G antique 
upright. Hats off. One question though; How do you recrown the soundboard in 
an old upright?                                                 Joseph D.
