Anything but the piano!

MessageI have a 1-1/2 year old Bergmann in my shop right now that was the victim of inexcusable wrath.  It seems this guy purchased it new from the local dealer.  He kept it for an entire year not making a single payment.  Finally the finance company lost all patience.  The movers were told to come and reposes the piano.  Before they could get there he took a hammer and beat the hell out of it.  They brought it to me to analyze the situation.  The lid, the fall board, and the bench were all smashed.  He also took the hammer to the keyboard and smashed numerous keys.  Fortunately he did not take the hammer to the inside of the piano so everything there was intact.  Long story short I have inherited the piano from the finance company who has officially written it off as a total loss.  Needless to say the guy no longer has any credit and will probably never be able to borrow money again.

In the meantime I have spoken to Young Chang and have determined that I should be able to restore it to "new" status again.  They have all the case parts on hand and can supply me with a completely new keyboard.  What I don't have is any time to work on it.  If I ever get caught up then that will be a good project.
