I recently had to do an appraisal for a church of a Steinway that had previously been "rebuilt". Of course, no one knows any of the history of the piano and I couldn't find any personal information or dates the "rebuilder" might have left. I'm looking for the approximate year of rebuild-the only clue I have: several shanks were replaced (the rest are all original). The replacement shanks have Teflon bushings. So, when did the average rebuilder stop using Teflon bushed shanks?
