The non-moveable music desk is anchored by to microscopic screws at its aft end. Very much a baby.     Anyone want to venture a guess as to its worth.  The local said, ten or so years ago replacement was about $12.500, and now they have it insured for something like $35,000………………………………  I suggested they might want to have a professional appraiser do his work, as it seemed to me if it had to be replaced, an adjuster who might know what he was doing would probably want to shoot someone…….<o:p></o:p> les <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">bartlett</st1:place></st1:City> <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
