Hello, I'm attaching a photo of a Josef Berger straight strung piano. The owner wants to know if it's of any historical or antique interest. She wants to just GIVE it to me, or to SOMEONE. She's moving and can't take it. I wouldn't know where to begin with it. I wonder if it's something a museum might be interested in, or a collector. Some hammers (leather covered) are broken, it doesn't sound very good. Unisons bad -- couldn't check pinblock tightness because of rectangular smallish pins, etc. Couple of soundboard cracks. Ribs look to still be glued well. What about this piano, folks? I'm out of my element here! John Dorr, RPT Helena, MT -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
