<HTML>Terry, I've seen some really interesting AB Chase uprights.  They always s= eem to be well maintained, and they usually have some really interesting fea= tures.  Right in there with M and H, Steinway, Ivers and Pond, and a ve= ry few select others.  You should grab it if you've got room in the sho= p.

I inspected a 1912 A. B. = Chase upright today ("is this piano worth tuning?"). It's overall condition = for this old a pianos was about 96 percentile (obviously not saying a whole = lot). It appeared to be quite the piano. It had an open pinblock with wooden= top-bass string termination. It had four string sections. It did not have a= tenor bridge, but the long bridge had absolutley NO hockey stick end. It ha= d a vertically laminated long bridge. Amazingly, it was in relatively good s= hape - all keys straight as an arrow, clean action, robust-sounding bass - p= retty amazing for a 91 year old gal. If I were looking for an upright to rem= anufacture, I would snap this one up real quick.</BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
