Ricca & Son Piano

[Lynn Rosenberg]

I think it is worth rebuilding.  I've seen one, and it had potential.  At
the time, I just reconditioned the action, and the pins were on the loose
side, but were holding.  I'm sure the piano would have sounded a lot nicer
with new wire on it along with new hammers, shanks and butts. I was also
told that some of Stineways employees went to work for Ricca since the
company was in the same city.  Lynn
