Well, I said to the client that I would have a think about his piano, 
and get opinions from you guys and gals, and let it percolate before 
getting back to him.

My feeling is growing that it would be really nice to have it carefully 
restored but without needing new soundboard/bridges, by someone like 
Period Piano http://www.periodpiano.com/restoration.html  I have emailed 
them to ask their opinion.

The action is not much worn - the hammers could easily be filed without 
needing recovering. All the action centres are very stiff, but I tried 
Protek CLP on a couple and the effect was immediate. Interestingly there 
is no evidence at all of moth damage.

Best regards,

David.
