>Hi, List (Del and Ron there?): > >A few months ago I purchased this very pretty 1880's 6'4" Weber to rebuild. >I have just estimated a client's identical piano. Two Webers. Great >cabinets, but famous Weber hollow-log sound (yuk). > are these webers the ones with the pinblock mortised into the case sides? i had a rebuilder send one back to me recently saying thanks but no thanks and refused to do it. another i saw about the same time had a new pinblock but instead of mortising it into the case it had been attached with some cheap angle iron on each side. it also had a cracked plate. i can't say for sure if the two problems were related... if you are not familiar with these i would check this out before making any big soundboard decisions. chris -Christopher D.
