Well, the case is beautiful, it sounds = okay (if tuned maybe 4 times a year, that is). I shaped the hammers and regulated = the action--it's not perfect but plays quite nicely. Backchecks need new = skins and regulating.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just went and looked at a 1906 Kohler = and Chase upright. The lady wanted to know what it was worth. The case had a few = defects with a nice music desk. Needed some work but it was obvious a tech had = been taking care of it. Bass sustain forever. I told I would give her $500 = for it and the stool with the glass balls for feet. I felt I could get higher price = marketing it as an original San Francisco antique and told her that she = should advertise there. As far as I know, these could be considered the M&H = of the west coast. For our area, I thought $500 might have been too = generous. We'll see. It gave her a starting point. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Keith R</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
