It could be. I've seen many of these including my Grandmas. I tuned one today I rebuilt last year. New strings, hammers, action. A very musical upright.</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

List,<BR>
<BR>
I recently visited an antique shop and found a piano called "Ellington". <BR>
I really don't know the true condition since stuff was piled in front of <BR>
it or the serial number.<BR>
<BR>
>From the outside, the case looks in good condition and most of the <BR>
keytops look good.<BR>
<BR>
I know this is a wide-open question, but does anyone think this piano <BR>
would be worth pursuing as a rebuild ?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for any advise,<BR>
