Vintage Everett grand

[Delwin D Fandrich]

We've put our boards in a couple of vintage Everett 6' grands. Excellent musical
instruments. They'll hold their own against any other pianos in their size category and do
better than most.

Those we did had three-piece rims and three bridges. Great sound from them both.
