<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ran into one today which had been "rebuilt" by a
local some ten or so years ago. Actually did strings (pinblock?), dampers,
key bushings, took ivory off and put on plastic. Left the hammers, and
they're now shot. This is the baby grand which has three screws through
what might called the stringer which extends down to the fall board, and
actually holds the fallboard. 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…….</FONT></P>
