<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'd hate to see =
you burdened
by this PSO. I'll dispose of this problem for everyone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Seriously, Greg, =
These were
Steinway Knockoffs, Exact same plate, scaling-To my knowledge, =
Steinway
pedal hardware, case detail etc. The differences that I could =
see were
in the rear duplex with individual tunable bars . Wessell Nickle =
Gross
action instead of Steinway action (a good thing -Less chance of
vertigris ). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I service some =
that are
M and O copies and recall seeing a seven foot model some years =
ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I understand =
Steinway sued
Steinert and the end result was that Steinert was allowed to make a
limited # of pianos each year. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm not a =
rebuilder, But
have reconditioned and regulated these ,and the only problem I've =
had was
with some odd key leading on one "m" . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As for value =
,I'll defer
to others on that , but you done fine on this deal =
in my
opinion.</FONT></DIV>
