Pianotech list, This post below came to me today from Pat Lynch. I am submitting it to you for your consideration. I have made no promises to Ms. Lynch that replies would be forthcoming. Thank you for your time, Keith A. McGavern kam544@ionet.net Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA ================================= Dear Mr. McGavern While browsing through the piano page archives I noticed a few postings with Kimball pianos as their main subject. Must have been around the time Kimball decided to stop manufacturing pianos. I pulled your name because you mentioned you have worked on at least 200 Kimball pianos. I have a 1935 Kimball grand piano and was wondering if it would be worth rebuilding. The things said about the todays Kimball company were not very encouraging, but I wonder if you have had experience working on the older pianos made in the 1930's when the pianos were still manufactured in the Chicago plant by the original family. If you know of any other technicians that have worked on older Kimballs (especially of that time period) I would appreciate you passing this request along. Thank you Pat Lynch ==============================
