<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Paul, I have obtained pianos similar of what you
described. Is it one of those blond whit or lime oak cases?? If =
it's a
school piano, no problem refinishing it. They strip that crap off =
and do
it in a natural oak finish. Got one from a school last year for =
$75,
refinished it, reconditioned action and keys and sold it for =
$2500. Lynn

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Did some work on an Everett Model 11 =
factory
finished in olive drab-the only color the army knew. 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>
