<HTML>Dear List,       I have a local customer who has inherited a Gerhard Heintzman grand piano that is located in the Olympia, Washington area. She would like an RPT in that area to evaluate its condition and possibly do the restoration. The information she gave me on the piano is listed below. If you live near that area, please e-mail me privately of your interest in this project: GBOLES@aol.com. Thanks, Greg Boles Baton Rouge, LA <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Here is the info you requested: Need RPT/Restoration Expert to appraise/asses for restoration --1902(atlas) or 1907(family) Gerhard Heintzman/Toronto  6'2'' grand; --serial #8699 --location:  near Olympia, Washington --case is rosewood or brazilian mahogany (lovely brown to brownish red, w/ golden tones and dark black/purple striations) --needs some refinishing, at least on top and fallboard, maybe one scratch on case --case, legs, and keys appear to be in quite good to excellent shape --inside looks like new --beautiful;  has large oval beading all around bottom of case; legs are large and rounded, but taper to the floor, w/beading in the turnings at the top;  there is flowery carving on the flat areas above the leg turnings; music rack is solid. w/curved/flared edges and a leaf or vine-type, raised design around the edge; has stool, not bench --had some restorative work 30 or 40 years ago (new felts, new hammers, re-strung ), and has been largely unused since then (has been closed, in living room, but has been tuned intermittently, including a tuning last year);   -- was purchased new as a wedding present, and has been kept in the family ever since (2 homes).
