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?
Thanks,
