Kap German piano

[Farrell]

"or do only Steinways hold their value and are worthy of such work?"

I think that all depends on if someone is considering "fixing" a piano for resale, or whether one is trying to make a musical instrument. If one is simply trying to "fix" a piano, then yes, having the name Steinway on the fallboard adds a significant amount of monetary value to the piano. However, if one is trying to make a musical instrument, there are many pianos made by many manufacturers that are "worth of such work".

           I have a customer with a Kap Piano. Has anyone ever heard of this brand. She said it was from Germany and it looks to be about 1920's - 30's. Because of the really fine cabinet veneer work and the condition of the action parts, is this piano worth a new bass bridge?..or do only Steinways hold their value and are worthy of such work?

  Thanks
