Hi list. Well, I had a chance finally to have a look at this old Broadwood. Looks to be in pretty good shape really. A few small cracks in the soundboard and pinblock but nothing serious. Case is dinged up a bit but in pretty good shape as well. All the origional action parts are there, but the hammer and damper felt have had it. By first look over, this would appear to be a prime candidate for an authentic restoration job... ie museum definition of restoration, while having very good chances for being made very playable as well. Cant find the serial number so if any of you can tell me where to look for it I would be happy. I will see if I can borrow my sons digital camera and take a few pictures for anyone interested. Also need advice as to what to do about the hammers. I suppose they should be re-felted, instead of getting new ones. Stephen Birkett... you out there ?? -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
