No I did not make the quote that the inner rim wood makes it less desirable to rebuild Asian Pianos. I think I would attribute that sentiment to Del, who likes to grouse about the "Select Hardwood". <G> I too, grouse about it. IF those asian pianos had "Real" screws in them, instead of some hermaphrodite type of Phillips, I might consider rebuilding a few. (I truly detest any kind of "Phillips" type screw!) But, alas, that is not the case! (Probably just as well:-) Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
