Herm. N. Peterson Piano

[Farrell]

I inspected a piano a couple days ago that meet the description of the one 
you cite. Fabulous veneers. I talked them into junking it or making a 
computer desk out of it rather than trying to fix it. They also had just 
bought it for $300. I know it's a shame, but they are essentially worthless.
