<DIV>Years ago I was called into appraise a S&S B which had been
resomethingorothered and the harp had broken in a number of places.
Through the coarse of the conversations I found out that Steinway was
offering to rebuild the piano for them and install a new harp. While t=
his
piano wasn't as old as yours it may be worth a try.</DIV>
