Who wants some high-end grands to restore ???

[gordon stelter]

Everyone,
     The events of this last week have made me realize
I am in a "buyer's market" here in semi-rural Georgia,
and often find pianos which I do not have time to
rebuild, and which may be desirable to others.
     Please send me privately your list of desired
instruments, and approximately what you would be
willing to pay for them. I will then create a 
"Piano Buyers" folder, and contact you if anything
shows up.
     Sincerely,
     Gordon Stelter

P.S. I have already brokered several Steinway, Mason,
Conover, Knabe, Bechstein etc. pianos to rebuilders in
Atlanta, but am interested in seeing what the national
market will offer. I also have access to plenty of
players, including reproducing grands.
