Everyone, The events of this last week have made me realize I am in a "buyer's market" here in semi-rural Georgia, and often find pianos which I do not have time to rebuild, and which may be desirable to others. Please send me privately your list of desired instruments, and approximately what you would be willing to pay for them. I will then create a "Piano Buyers" folder, and contact you if anything shows up. Sincerely, Gordon Stelter P.S. I have already brokered several Steinway, Mason, Conover, Knabe, Bechstein etc. pianos to rebuilders in Atlanta, but am interested in seeing what the national market will offer. I also have access to plenty of players, including reproducing grands. --- ANRPiano@aol.com wrote: > I used to do swing test but I found the results to > be very inconsistent. > When you factor in the different weights of hammers > from top to bottom, what > does the number of swings with some arbitrarily > picked hammer tell you? > > Use a gram gauge and get an absolute number on your > friction.
