Steinway Vertegrand Pressure Bars

[Fenton Murray]

JD,.
A client of mine has a Model V #197... that was near a fire, it will 
probably not be rebuilt and most likely will be totaled by her insurance. 
Don't know if parts will fit, and it's a ways from here, but I'll try to 
keep tabs on it if your interested.
