Story and Clark Grand (Water Damage)

[Matthew Todd]

Okay guys,
   
  I returned from my inspection at the school with the water damaged piano.
   
  The piano is a 1969 Story and Clark Grand.  It is sad, but it could be worse.  The soundboard and pinblock looked fine beside the anticipated water stain on the board.
   
  It will need a complete restringing.  All the tuning pins are rusted.  All hammers will need replacing as well as all felts and dampers, obviously.
   
  This is a Story and Clark Grand with a Yamaha action.  Can someone explain the history and connection here?
   
  Since this is at a public school, I am sure they will agree to the partial rebuild at the drop of a hat (yeah, right!).  Have any of you had any luck with a school agreeing to this kind of work?  If they don't, I wonder if I can buy it from them and do it myself?  Good experience, huh?
   
   
  Matthew
