A customer approached us about possibly semi-rebuilding an 1880’s A.M. McPhail upright they had found. The instrument was\u00a0being given away by\u00a0a local group which did not have any use for the instrument.<\/p>\n

We had a discussion of monetary value compared to instrument value. This included making the customer aware that the expenses of rebuilding this piano would very unlikely to ever be regained on a sales market.<\/p>\n

As an ending note, this piano will also be refinished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
