SHOP PROJECTS
Pianos purchased on speculation. Repaired and regulated to complete refinished and reconditioned and then offered for sale. These projects are somewhat like the cobblers children in that they get worked on as contract shop work and tuning schedule allows.
A Project that gains a "sponsor" then becomes a contracted project with the end product defined.
Baldwin Grand 5'6"
This Baldwin grand is in a clients home. The internals and sound are in really good condition. The case should be refinished.
A great first grand! Asking $5,000
Call for appointment to see.
Bramueller Grand. This instrument came to the shop at a very good price. After the work was done it was donated to Our Lady of Peace Retreat Center in Beaverton as a big ticket item for thier annual silent auction. The ticket was a bit too bit for that evening and the good Sisters still have it.
This is a good workhorse. Again, it would serve well as a practice instrument or "first" grand.
All proceeds for this instrument go directly to the Retreat Center. Please call to arrange a viewing so as not to disrupt a retreat. 503-649-7271.
WORK DONE: Minor epairs, finish touch up, regulation and tuning.
This upright is all but completed. New Strings, New Hammers, NewKeytops, New Felt new parts throughout. Refinished.
What's left? Balance the keys and adjust touch weight.
IN PROCESS: Sponsor (buy it before it's complete) for $4000. Completed asking price will be $5,000.
This is a contract rebuild, so it's not for sale. I'm showing it here just for the interest.
The big challenge on this instrument will be the re design of the action (all the moving parts that gets the hammer to the strings) as the old design parts are not available and there has been so many make shift repairs that a new action is dictated. It mean doing some homework and math to get it right.
Inprocess and finished pics in the future.
