Fw: soundboard buttons

[Joseph Alkana]

Thanks, Ron.
Actually the guy that owns the piano is looking for a buyer, but he hasn't 
set a price yet. It can't be too much, as he got this thing new at a pretty 
cheap price.The bass has those terrible tri-chord wound strings, which are 
bad enough, but these are horribly mismatched to begin with. It also has 
plain strings down to F2, which really don't match very well with the bass 
notes adjacent  wise.
