Stuart Pianos

[Farrell]

I wonder what percentage of "rebuilders" or "builders" make each piano the
best way they know how - compared to what percentage re/build them in the
most profitable way (or what they think is the most profitable). And most
certainly, there is a continuum between the two extremes.
