  Dear List,
        I have a local customer who has inherited a Gerhard Heintzman grand
  piano that is located in the Olympia, Washington area. She would like an
RPT
  in that area to evaluate its condition and possibly do the restoration.
The
  information she gave me on the piano is listed below. If you live near
that
  area, please e-mail me privately of your interest in this project:
  GBOLES@aol.com.

  Thanks,

  Greg Boles
  Baton Rouge, LA



    Here is the info you requested:
    Need RPT/Restoration Expert to appraise/asses for restoration
    --1902(atlas) or 1907(family) Gerhard Heintzman/Toronto  6'2'' grand;
    --serial #8699
    --location:  near Olympia, Washington
    --case is rosewood or brazilian mahogany (lovely brown to brownish red,
w/
    golden tones and dark black/purple striations)
    --needs some refinishing, at least on top and fallboard, maybe one
scratch
    on case
    --case, legs, and keys appear to be in quite good to excellent shape
    --inside looks like new
    --beautiful;  has large oval beading all around bottom of case; legs are
    large and rounded, but taper to the floor, w/beading in the turnings at
the
    top;  there is flowery carving on the flat areas above the leg turnings;
    music rack is solid. w/curved/flared edges and a leaf or vine-type,
raised
    design around the edge; has stool, not bench
    --had some restorative work 30 or 40 years ago (new felts, new hammers,
    re-strung ), and has been largely unused since then (has been closed, in
    living room, but has been tuned intermittently, including a tuning last
    year);
    -- was purchased new as a wedding present, and has been kept in the
family
    ever since (2 homes).

    Any assistance you could give in locating a qualified RPT/restorer would
be
    much appreciated.
