Don't disparage that instrument. My opinion is that those Chicago era Kimballs were pretty nice instruments.

The piano in question is a 6 foot Kimball. Not my choice of a rebuildable instrument, but what the hell... Its a piano I got for nothing, and will get a little something back out of it I hope. The year of manufacture is 1904, so its not quite as bad as some of the later stuff they put out. Being that I have no one telling me what they want the piano to sound like after the job is complete, I'm thinking of changing things up a little. I have never got to experience the sound of Isaac hammers and bass strings. I know that others on this list have, and I want to know what you know. If you don't want to put it out for god and everyone to read you can email me privately. One thing that this piano could improve on is the bass. It sounds smaller than it should. Don't get me wrong the strings are dead, but I can tell that the bass lacks depth and growl. I have read some good testimonials about the Isaac products, and just am looking for a few more, good or bad. Thanks! Shawn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
