<DIV>I own a 1919 Mason and Hamlin AA, re-whatevered in 2000: new board, block, strings, keys, action, finish. I play it when I can. It's my favorite piano, even with all those wound tricords at the break! </DIV>

<DIV class=AOLPlainTextBody id=AOLMsgPart_0_b7642005-0b68-4371-a4a4-3b06a23847ca>Hi all. <BR> <BR>I am curious more than anything: what do you have for a piano in your own home? <BR> <BR>Me? Charles Walter Console. I bought it when I was apartment dwelling, and move it into my Coach Home. Now that I have room for a Grand, I have a 1863 Style2 that will be getting the full treatment..a real labor of love for the foreseeable future. <BR> <BR>I also admit that I rarely play the piano in my own home, so owning an antique that will be fully restored is a bit much..but I'm curious. <BR> <BR>-Phil Bondi(Fl) <BR> <BR></DIV><!-- end of AOLMsgPart_0_b7642005-0b68-4371-a4a4-3b06a23847ca --></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
