It's a great niché, to bring back these beautiful older instruments into very acceptable playing creatures. I currently have an 1925 M that is in full operation with original parts that is gorgeous. I did a 1927 AIII before that, and the owner is in love again. Both pianos were verdigris victims to the point you could lift the hammers and measure hang time......in minutes. :-) Keith A.
