I've made that vow often enough, because I'm convinced there's more 
work in rebuilding an upright than a grand, but at least the uprights 
I have are fine instruments and worth working on -- 4 Lipps, 2 
Rittmüllers, 2 Brinsmeads, a Gotha Steck and a Kirkman ( which was 
two Kirkmen!), not to mention a Steinway Vertegrand which I wish 
would just evaporate and leave no trace.  I choose which pianos I 
work on and very rarely take in customers' uprights.
