This question has made me scratch my head a few times as well.Given the fact that often as not a rebuilt instrument has about as much in common with the origional instrument as a rebuilt Volkswagon van with a Corvette engine has with a stock VW, From this perspective as long as the "Chasis" is good... rebuild it as many times as you like :) I wonder what is it that makes any piano "worth" rebuilding in the first place. Surely it must have less to do with the Brand name then it has to do with the size of the thing. Of course the general quality of the rim and bracings is important, but it would seem likely that there are plenty of decent enough rims made without the rest of the piano coming into the question. As long as we are on that.... anyone have meanings about what is the best made Rim in the buisness ?? Reasonings ? Cheers !
