I did ask him today (the pastor of the church) if he had any set price in mind. He said he didn't. I told him I would post the availability of this piano and see what happens. I suppose the thing to do would be to make an offer if you are interested. I haven't looked at the piano in about two years. My recollection is that the case is in fairly good shape (ebony) and that many would rebuild it with the original soundboard - but of course, that would not make it a great piano. It would really need a new soundboard to be great. Call me if you wish. Maybe what I need to do first is take a run down there (its only five miles or so away) and look at it again. Maybe take a few pictures. I'll try and get out there the first part of next week.

This is a Teflon S&S and the piano has been in a church for many years and has had the stuffing beat out of it. I had given them a proposal for a complete remanufacturing of the piano a few years ago. The action shakes and rattles like a bucket of bolts and it has a prominent killer octave area. </div> <div>   </div> <div> Anyone interested in this good salvage condition L?
