I have been asked by someone to appraise a Model 10 (166 cm, 5'5"). c. 1928 It's either light walnut or medium brown cherry. Board and bridges are good. Tight ivories w/ one chipped (a job for Acryli-Key II) Needs: Refinishing (sun-damaged, water-marked); & re-veneering of lid edge. Hammers/shanks/flanges. Pin block (brass face-plate model), restringing, etc... Due to the oppressively depressed condition of the used piano market and the low profile of this make in the US, I'm hard pressed to put a number on it. I told her what I would be willing to pay for it and it was no where near her realm of great expectations. (It was one of those, "I didn't want to bid too high in fear they might accept it" deals). They think that there's someone out there with deep pockets who just has to have this diamond-in-the-rough. Might be there is but just find 'em :-) Comments? Quips? Queries? -- Regards, Jon Page
