<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,
<P>I have a Steinway "S" available that is ready for an <U>easy</U> rebuild,
#281263 (1936).</P>
<P>The case is dark mahogany. The present finish is actually quite good for
its age but no bench. It has all original ivories in <U>pristine</U> condition
with no chips. The pin block is reasonable and would probably be quite tight
after restringing with new pins. Personally, I always replace blocks when
rebuilding anyway, but you could likely reuse this one if you wish. There are
no apparent soundboard cracks. Bridges are dirty as typical with age but
look very solid. Some basic re-notching and new pins would probably do it. The
primary concern with this piano is the action which has been contaminated with
verdigris. The center pin bushings are very stiff and sticking badly so it
will require all new action parts.</P>
<P>Overall this piano is a <U>very</U> easy basic rebuild. I am just too
busy and my financial resources are presently stretched to the limit with
another expensive restoration project underway. I have too many pianos sitting
on their side in the shop. If anyone is looking for an easy Steinway
rebuild this is it. Cost is $4,600 and worth every penny. You pay
transportation, but I can help you make the arrangements at this end,
including local mover pick-up and transfer over to Keyboard Carriage or
whomever. </P>
<P>Serious inquiries only please. Check payment must clear prior to
shipment.</P>
<P>Don't wait, FIRST-COME FIRST-SOLD! </P>
