Thanks, Ed:
I guess he's "imagining" it's John Lennon's piano. I have no doubt John owned it, but whether he wrote that song, it kinda doesn't look to be so. I wouldn't want to break the guy's heart to tell him (he wouldn't believe me anyway).
As far as the whippens, and other parts, who knows where they came from. I guess the best way to approach this one is to try substituting a taller heel and see what happens.
Thanks again.
Paul

Greetings,
I believe that George Michael owns John Lennon's piano that he wrote "Imagine" on. And I also think it is a mahogany Steinway upright.
The pictures of the Brambach look like a nightmare of non-original parts. I wouldn't know where to suggest you start, but I think the heels are far too short.
