(10 or 15 years since serviced).<br><br>I brought it up to pitch, thinking maybe the new strings had never been settled, and came back later and brought it up again.<br><br>It held for a week or two, and then they went out of town.<br>When they got back, the piano was so far out it was 'unplayable'. <br><br>I found two significant soundboard cracks and a strange separation on the bass end in a structural member, but the plate seems to be intact still. Of course the action irregularities are more pronounced now, too.<br><br>Does anyone have an idea of what might be done to salvage/repair this instrument?<br>I fear it looks like a total loss....<br><br>Thanks,<br>DAhr-wynn<br></body><PRE>
