Our own pianos

[Michael Spalding]

Phil,

S&S M, ca 1926.  Estate sale, purchased at "rebuildable carcass" price,
intending to rebuild.  That was 13 years ago.  Found that with some
regulation, voicing, and a DamppChaser it's not that bad, and I keep
finding other things to do with my time <G>.  Meanwhile, it has been a
willing guinea pig for anything new I want to try re tuning, regulation,
and voicing.

Mike
