<div dir="ltr">I have a customer with a 1929 S&S (NY) B. It's been in a supper club for many years, been rode hard and put up wet. Customer says the action is from another B which was in even worse condition. This action is verdigris'd, although I did very successfully use the brake parts cleaner trick on it. <div> <br></div><div style>Customer has a second S&S B from 1968. It has also been in the supper club for years, but it is in overall much better condition.</div><div style><br></div><div style>He called me recently to ask if I thought he could sell one or the other of them. I suspect he's having cash flow issues, but I didn't ask. I suggested he should sell the 1929 model - because then he'd still have a piano in the place! He wanted me to suggest an asking price. I declined, but mentioned something I'd read here a few years back about a rebuilding carcass going for ca $1000 per foot. I don't recall if that was before or during the plantetary economic slump... does that rule of thumb still apply? Or is it regional, like a better-playing instrument?</div> <div style><br></div><div style>Thanks!<br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN</div></div>
