Salvaged parts for presentation.

I have an M in the shop on spec which needs retringing.

I'd rather sell it wholesale but rebuilders aren't offering
much more than I paid for it. So I'm considering a
retail/wholesale which would be a low price to the public
(but more than a rebuilder).  There's some bass strings
missing and if someone is about to unstrung an M, maybe
they could cut the wire at the coil so that I could splice them
into this piano for presentation.

Heck, if the strings aren't outright dead and don't respond to twisting,
the piano could squeak by a few more years with just action work if
that were the route the prospective buyer wanted to take.

8 string are needed: 20, 21, 23, 24, 27, 32, 36, 38.  So if it gets
restrung right away, I'd hate to have wasted the dough on new
replacements since there are so many.  If the person with the
strings will be in KC, I could get them then. I'd even buy you your
favorite libation :-)

Contact me privately if you are at that restringing juncture.
