another CA question

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Maggie,
If you mean grand by the term good, why not, the piano can still be restrung
and the plank replaced without much added work.
Just did a Langford's or Garfield doped piano that no pin  on the entire
piano would hold.
The folks had called my compition and did not want to spend 15,000 that they
had quoted.
The piano now holds quite well and 200.00 the cost.
