Serial #125243 (or = close to that). It appears to have been contracted in this finish because all the = case panels are painted on both sides this color. It even had the original = packing wedge holding the knee panel in place. Customer wanted to refinish it. I = told her that may be a mistake. The veneer telegraphing looked like a mix of = maple and mahogany. If she stripped it she'd probably have some reveneering to = do. Also, it may de-value the piano. The case and action showed only slight wear-pitch was A440. She bought it from a Bureau of Indian Affairs = elementary school sale. It has a mark "1st grade" on the soundboard between the = back posts. She remembers the piano being played once or twice a week. I didn't get = her connection with the school (she's not Native American). Does any one = know Everett's history with Army pianos? Does this instrument have any value (other than her sentimental attachment) above an average = market value? Just curious</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul Chick</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
