<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">If the bridge pops off because you've taken
care to bring the piano back into playing condition, that is another issue that
needs to be addressed. Note your concern to the client, but proceed - or
walk away. If it comes off, repair it. To not raise pitch because
the instrument is incapable of being useful seems to me to be like missing
seeing the forest - darn trees in the way. ;-]</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Thanks for other suggestions on
pitch raising Ivers and Pond piano.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I apologize, maybe should have expounded; I am concerned
about the pitch raise, insofar as the possiblity of breaking the
glue joints between the bridge and the sound board, due to or old glue joints
or aged brittle wood. I just don't want to be almost done with a
pitch correction and hear POP!... and the bridge breaks free. After
being <EM>under</EM> pitch for many years, it just may not take too
kindly to a raise. I usually dont elect to raise old pianos too far, if
at all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
