It has been completely rebuilt, repinned, and restrung. He wonders what he should ask . .  so do I ?? Obviously, he thinks it is worth a bundle, as visitors always ooh and aah. Frankly, it sounds pretty good, given the new strings and restored soudboard, but a square   is a square, is a square, and it plays like one. Dated around 1870's, I think ( I've misplaced my Pierce) SER # 35546. Could one of you look it up for me while I order another Atlas? Thanks Piano has been located in the same farmhouse for the past 90 years ( except for a trip to the rebuilders). Any thoughts on value or disposition . . .?? Thanks Jim ----------------------------------------------------- Jim Kinnear </BLOCKQUOTE> The value is as much as he can get for it. A lot depends on where he advertises the piano. If he only advertises locally, there might not be much of a market. But if he wants to got to the trouble of placing ads in antique magazines, or even newspapers like the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal, he might get a better response. Willem </HTML>
