Recommend Rebuilder?

[David Love]

$10,000 is not enough to do both the belly work and the finish.  Not even
close.  Likely it will need some action work as well if it's going to be a
concert instrument.  Skip the finish, raise more money and make sure it's
done right, not with shortcuts to meet an inadequate budget.  It just leads
to an inadequate or incomplete job.

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your message.the piano will be used in
Morphy concert Hall,i hope the piano can be retured
within half year or so.my budget is about 10,000,I
know it is not enough for a completly rebuilding,so i
have to do part of the work by myslef.

the piano is black.the finishing can be either shiny
black(similar to the germany black finish).i care more
about the tone than finish,because it is going to be a
concert piano.
