I am rebuilding a small white Lauter grand, (4'8") The customer thinks the piano is great. We knew it had some termite damage, but when I took the bass strings off the treble bridge, I discovered that about half the bridge is gone. Termites leave the top layer of wood, but eat everything underneath. I've quoted the lady $6000 to restring and put on a new bridge. But the piano really is not worth it. Attached is a picture of the left front leg. If anyone knows of a similar piano, please let me know. It doesn't have to be a Lauter. It just needs to be white with French Prov legs, but no termites. It might be worth it to ship it here, rather than having me repair this one. ------------------------------------------- Willem "Wim" Blees, RPT Mililani, HI 96789 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
