Sorry, Kent! <G> How is the '04? Not a bad instrument if its been rebuilt properly.... Our oldest is a 1911 model A that I just totally rebuilt 2 years ago. A really nice piano now...

In a few days we will finally be taking a 1904 Steinway A out of service from a voice studio. We will be replacing it with, uh, an 1881 Steinway A in much better condition than the 1904 instrument. That's my world. Kent On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 10:16 AM, Jim Busby <jim_busby at byu.edu> wrote: Kent, True. I forgot about the shop days at home! (Replaced a bunch there) But here at BYU the pianos are fairly new so we never need new ones, except the occasional one broken upon removal. I’m spoiled here… Jim From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Kent Swafford Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 8:05 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] When to restring... There can be plenty of reasons to replace agraffes. Never say never; you obviously haven't seen some of the hopeless agraffes that have come through my shop.

WAY better than new ones because new ones aren’t shaped correctly either. Waste of time to just replace them. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
