As most of you know, I am just starting out learning the trade. I am currently in the first month of taking the Randy Potter course. I was wondering what pianos from Larry Fine's book (where he mentiones pre-1930s brands worth preservation or something like that) would you all consider restoring? Specifically, what brands of vertical pianos? So you won't have to dig out the book, here's the list (copied and pasted from a website): Steinway Knabe Bösendorfer Ivers & Pond Steinert Emerson Apollo Weber Krakauer Everett Ibach Baldwin Chickering Blüthner Henry F. Miller Jewett Vose A.B. Chase Wing Hallet & Davis Hamilton Heintzman Mason & Hamlin Bechstein Sohmer McPhail Hume Chas. Stieff Packard Haines Bros.
