Frank wrote << No matter what the name on the fallboard, premium and complete work to rebuild an upright will cost about twice what the piano will bring. The only people making money "rebuilding" old uprights are those who get them for little or nothing, do just enough to make them playable and presentable, and sell them relatively cheaply. >> Frank, The work I do "rebuilding" uprights includes but is not limited to: complete action replacement, bridge repair or replacement, full or partial restringing, and a gloss closed pore finish. I believe in most cases this work would be concidered a substantial rebuilding job! I do but them for little or nothing which is what they are worth in their original condition. And I do make a fair amount of money for my efforts. The trick is to work very effieciently amont other things. ANR
