Bluthner sale/cheap

[Larry Graddy]

David
My name is Larry Graddy.  I'm interested in your Bluthner.  I have some
questions about it.  Is the action and keyset conventional?  Normal wippens,
damper action, keys that are parallel and don't flare.  If its ok I don't
care about the board, bridges, block etc.  My partner Del Fandrich and I
always replace these anyway while improving the design.  Is it ebony or a
clear finish?  How about the condition of the case?  How much do you want
for it?  If you were going to replace the board in another piano we might
make you a new soundboard, ribset, ribscale, stringscale, etc. or we might
just but it.
You can reach me at Pianobuilders Northwest 360-532-6688 in Hoquiam, Wa. or
email me pianobuilders3@olynet.com
I'm looking forward to your reply.
thanks
Larry Graddy
