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?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
