This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List Did some work on an Everett Model 11 factory finished in olive drab-the = only color the army knew. Serial #125243 (or close to that). It appears = to have been contracted in this finish because all the case panels are = painted on both sides this color. It even had the original packing wedge = holding the knee panel in place. Customer wanted to refinish it. I told = her that may be a mistake. The veneer telegraphing looked like a mix of = maple and mahogany. If she stripped it she'd probably have some = reveneering to do. Also, it may de-value the piano. The case and action = showed only slight wear-pitch was A440. She bought it from a Bureau of = Indian Affairs elementary school sale. It has a mark "1st grade" on the = soundboard between the back posts. She remembers the piano being played = once or twice a week. I didn't get her connection with the school (she's = not Native American). Does any one know Everett's history with Army = pianos? Does this instrument have any value (other than her sentimental = attachment) above an average market value?
