Why "Hot Hide Glue" is ideal for bushiings....

[Farrell]

I've got an 1890s Blasius & Sons upright stored in my garage that I haven't 
had the stomach yet to junk. It has so much potential. It was clearly a very 
well built piano - very heavily framed, much detail, all rosewood veneers, 
etc. A shame to junk....
