Hard to justify all the repairs a small 80 y'r old piano needs, but it had a large sentimental value apparantly. A transition bridge in the tenor, a bass soundboard cut-off, and pretty well made, it seems. It was getting hammers, etc. however, Hurricane Wilma tore the roof off the shop and the piano got wet, so I can't tell you how it might have been.... It did have the original gold bass strings!! When it's dried out, I may be on the case again. Or pronouncing the death sentence... BCNU David Dania Bch, FL
