    Oh, and BTW, did they say "Steinway & Sons" on the fallboard? =
Thanks.

       In a thread earlier this year I posted that I have restored 3 =
beautiful Victorian uprights for clients to the tune of about $12,000 =
apiece.  2 of these were virgin Calif. pianos, one owner families. The =
boards were fine. Ivory was excellent on 2. Action wood not seriously =
degraded
    Awesome musical outcome. No, this isn't the same as selling them out =
right but selling had a part in getting them rebuilt. I'm finding the =
Victorian stuff is becoming increasingly attractive to buyers. However I =
don't usually buy spec projects in this vein of work anymore. It's a =
very narrow market but at least it's there at times. Know what I mean.=20
  Hey Terry you have uprights with new boards to sell. Did you?
