Greetings all,
<br> These questions are initially geared to rebuilder
types but are certainly open to comments from everyone. It was just offered
to me to purchase a 6' Steinert grand for the price of 2 tunings a year
for the next 5 years. These will be performed on the customers new piano
once he gets it. I will be helping him find a new (to him) piano a little
smaller than his present one (the Steinert). He has specifics for what
he is looking for which should prove to make the search quite interesting.
<br> My questions are; What experiences have you had
with the Steinert brand? This appears to be a piano quite worth rebuilding
with a very heavy case, thick rim, and among other items individual aliquot
bars for a tunable duplex. I'm curious as to what kind of value one might
place on this 20's vintage piano in need of refinishing, a pin block and
perhaps a soundboard along with an action overhaul. Can anyone come up
with <i>gross</i> estimates of before and after values? Did I (pay) too
much or is this the incredible find I think it is?
