I think the school should consider it a total loss -- without tearing it down it's hard to be certain that the pinblock actually is OK, and likewise for the soundboard. I don't remember where you're located, but if it's someplace like New England (dry superheated winters, uncontrolled heat & humidity in the summer -- ESPECIALLY in public schools) I would NOT want to be explaining why those components failed after I had cashed the check for the partial rebuild.<div> If you could get it for next to nothing, and you could let it season through appropriate wet/dry cycles, it might be a nice piano to do a spec rebuild on.</div><div>I believe that Story & Clark had Yamaha make G1 style pianos with the S&C nameplate back in the 60s-70s. I have one in my clientele that's as decent as any Yamy G1 can be.</div> <div>Patrick Draine RPT</div><div>enjoying NEECSO 2008 very much!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 8:03 PM, Matthew Todd <<a href="mailto:toddpianoworks@yahoo.com">toddpianoworks@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div>Okay guys,</div> <div> </div> <div>I returned from my inspection at the school with the water damaged piano.</div> <div> </div> <div><br></div></blockquote></div></div>
