>Ursala Whether it's to rebuild an historic piano, or replacing the roof, the historical society should be able to do it's own fund raising. I realize getting money for the piano is in your best interest, but how they get the money is not your responsibilty. Wim< Wim and Ursula - This may be true, but it might be helpful for you (Ursula) to provide the museum with some informative materials to help them "sell" the project through fund-raisers, mailings to past contributors and the like. We had an opportunity to restore a Kranich and Bach grand for a small museum (Farm Home) at Iowa State University in 2004. I provided a detailed written description of what the project would involve, along with a set of photos of other piano restorations we had undertaken, and put it together in a 3-ring notebook. The curator of the museum took it from there, and organized a tea for the university president, and other higher-ups to attend. With that and several other efforts, the money was raised and the piano was delivered to our shop. Ursula - I'll email you a copy of the project description that I put together for you to look over.
