Steinway player

[Leslie W Bartlett]

Ah, as the gods would have it, I received a call tonight from the
gentleman who tunes for the Houston Symphony who has pulled several
actions from Steinway players, and said he'd help me pull it.  Everything
is still there, very old, very brittle.  There's not much in the way of
player technicians here in Houston......   He might have to go elsewhere
for the action work and the player rebuild.  I'll restring it, but don't
really wish to take on a rebuild project, especially since the piano will
not be moved from the home for the work I do on it.    Thanks, I guess,
for warning me I'm in for something of an adventure.
