Is it = one of those blond whit or lime oak cases?? If it's a school piano, no = problem refinishing it. They strip that crap off and do it in a natural = oak finish. Got one from a school last year for $75, refinished it, = reconditioned action and keys and sold it for $2500.

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?
