Good sound

Stunning-- a spectacular example of your shop's superior work. This must be a very happy customer, indeed! I agree completely with you about the quality and tone of older pianos, owing to the craftsmanship of those days, yes, and also to the higher quality of wood available then. A similar comparison (between old and new) is seen today in home construction. Thank you very much.

Marcus: Intro says 1974? Which would seem correct for a 'milky' polyester.
-But title says 1926?

Serial number does date it to circa 1974. This is right in the middle of the 20+ year period of Baldwin's ownership of the C.Bechstein company.

Thanks for pointing out the incorrect date; has been corrected now. I didn't realise that Baldwin owned Bechstein at that time. Marcus
