Ben, if it's a grand, please do re-string it, and consider replacing the block...and resizing the bridge pins (Thanks Greg). Why? I know of a Howard Grand that is now at Sama getting a fresh coat of lacquer, and the work that was done to it before I started servicing it was 1st rate. The person who did the work did not refinish it, probably at the request of the previous owner, because I know for a fact their funds were limited. This was a teacher's piano, and it has a warm, yet powerful sound for a little guy. Just do it, -Phil
