Recommend Rebuilder?

[RicB]

Hi Dale

I think I would like to know more specifics about that mysterious 
rebuild which has been refered to a couple times. Where it really came 
from, who actually did the job, what happened to it on the way... etc 
etc.  before drawing too many conclusions about it.  If it turns out to 
be a purely botched job then so be it.  If whatever ends up being the 
cause of the instrument being in the condition a couple have observed 
then blaming the rebuilder without further ado whomever they are 
seems... well ....

That said... as I've stated in other posts I think the idea that only 
this or that or the other guy can restore a piano to a very high degree 
of quality is wrong.  On the other hand... I've seen a couple real 
interesting rebuilds of one type of piano into another.  A Grotrian 
rebuilt by the Bechstein restoration facility comes to mind... very 
strange thing... the owner loves it tho.... :)

Cheers

    If some one believes this then I assume  there  is  also magic
    soundboard
    wood. I wonder why that fresh Steinway rebuild at  the Rochester
    convention had a
    flat board & no tone......& yes it just  came from the restoration
    dept....but... oh the're the only ones that can do  it. Why... I
    hadn't heard. Yes and I
    put a string acroos the bottom of  the belly. Yes, I put bearing
    gauges on
    the top.   Nada,zip.
      Oh well ignorance can be bliss. I need to hire there  Marketing
    guy...he's
    good
