We have finished installing the short legs and Renner casters on our two new Steinway Bs, so the original standard legs, sockets and casters are available. These legs are for Steinway Bs or Ds. You would need to check with Steinway if these are adaptable to other models. These six legs are in perfect condition as these pianos were delivered new last December 1999. The only things not included are: 1) The lock plates--I had to remove them to use on our new short legs. You can of course use the ones from your old legs. 2) 3 of the 4 brass screws holding the caster sockets--the new sockets require only 3 screws, so I was able to leave you one screw per socket. Although we will likely be happy with just about any reasonable offer, I would like to give an idea of the value of what we have here. These prices are from the Steinway Parts Price List: 026611 EA LEG W/O HDW EBONY FIN B & D 274.00 008760 EA CASTER BRASS B, D & K 34.00 008739 EA CASTER SOCKETS FOR 8760 4.00 TOTAL - one leg 312.00 TOTAL - six legs (not including shipping) 6 @ $312 = $1,872.00 I am certain our administrator will accept an offer for a fraction of this amount that is not unreasonable. Just for kicks, test us with an unreasonably low offer! Please check with your administrators. When they are figuring the total amount for this, please have them include an amount for shipping (I don't have an estimate for UPS) and $130 for packaging and handling. The legs and casters are now in the two original cartons that the short legs came in. To ship them UPS I would have to modify (enlarge) the cartons and take them to UPS. It would take some doing. If a staff person or student from your university were passing through Decatur, these expenses could be avoided. John Baird, RPT Millikin University Decatur, Illinois jbaird@fgi.net
