   I have an Everett upright, 100 years old. It is a
superb piano with a veneered solid ash case, laminated
and VARNISHED keybed (stable & easy to clean!) and
little metal tabs on the back of the pedals which
cover the hole when the pedal is up to KEEP MICE OUT!
(Should be the law!!!)
   Could be wonderful restored!!!
   Please see posts on filing upper plate bridge to a
possibly narrower (1.5mm) width to improve sustain.
      Thump 
P.S. I have  found that pianos with a "solid" ( as in
ash, oak, etc.. ) framework have an "authoritative"
tone, even in junk condition.
P.P.S. I could use a bench for this. Mahogany, fluted
columns with capitals for legs.
