Hello Arlin Hall You sad, inter alia: "The owners are trying to decide whether to have this piano rebuilt / restored or to buy a new one. Given the sentimental value of having such an instrument in the family for such a long time, I think they may want to have it rebuilt if it is feasible. " Get them to buy new new new!!! I know that sentiment is a strong thing, but if they are even remotely thinking of replacing.... lean on them in that direction. There's a lot of t r o u b l e in store on such a piano as you describe and once you start in, the... " but it was all right before you touched it..." syndrome springs strongly to mind!! :-) Regards Michael G (UK)
