<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Richard: Thanks for your advice. This piano is a family
heirloom, and they wanted it to be made playable again. It is an 1890 vintage
German Neuman, with a full plate sort of a transitional version of the upright.
I have seen one other German birdcage of this vintage, and it was
similar.</FONT></DIV>
