If the '04 was ever rebuilt, it was long enough ago that there is little evidence of it. A dreadful piano all around at this point. We might rebuild it; we'll see.

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.
