What's even sadder is that piano could likely have been saved with a simple CA treatment to the pins. The cabinet was nice, the key tops good and level, didn't sound too bad.

Hard to believe the cast-iron plate would shred, although they are brittle. Hope they pull the metal out with a(n) (electro-)magnet and at least recycle that. Sad to see a lot of these pianos go, but then to rebuild most of them is not profitable unless they a) don't need refinishing, b) don't need a new soundboard and, preferably, c) don't also need a new pinblock, which is rare. Oh, you can do all of the above, but then you have to sell it for about the price of a new one in order to make any money. --David Nereson, RPT On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 6:47 AM, Paul T Williams <pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu> wrote: Here's another funny one; Paul <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJzG7CSYg3U> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJzG7CSYg3U From: "Rob & Helen Goodale" <rrg at unlv.nevada.edu> To: <pianotech at ptg.org> Date: 03/12/2012 12:13 AM Subject: [pianotech] Now THIS is classic! _____ A classic ending for the life of a piano.
