---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Daniel Tokiwa makes a wide range of fine parts for many old upright. Forget scavenging. The potential tone production of the piano, is for me, the deal breaker of to rebuild or not. If it sings with the old parts then the sound simply gets better with new parts. Honestly if an old upright has a great singing board, I'll take that piano in rebuilt condition over almost any new upright out there today, that by in large has a clangy raspy thin sound, either via it's smaller size or petrified felt hammers. We've rebuilt some beauties this year for musicians who state they don't play on pianos this good out in the world!!! Dale Erwin Hi All I looked over an old Henry F. Miller full upright a few days ago and the owner would like to have it restored. Serial #39226 (1910). He just doesn't want to pay a few thousand dollars to do it. He wanted to know how available the parts might be, even from other old HFM uprights. I told him I'd check, but I didn't think that would be very successful or cost effective to try that route. But he wanted me to ask anyway, so if anyone knows of any full actions from that same period that he might be able to purchase and salvage parts from let me know.
