Gee, that's disappointing, Paul. Was it unsatisfactory condition, or did you just change your mind?
The former. After I opened the outside tolex covered lid, I recognized that the plastic lid was loose and there were chips of wood all over the outside and inside of the piano.
I then recognized that the damper rail lay diagonally under the harp, where it was stuck. This might have caused some wood to come off the keys. The sustain dowel was also lying somewhere in the case.
Furthermore, roughly 1/3 of the tone bars at the upper end are corroded, two pick-ups didn’t work, the name rail felt was not intact in about the middle third of the piano, and the name plate on the rear was broken.
Apart from that, I discovered that some repair had been done to the outer lid, right above where the plastic lid was patched. And right below that position on the wooden frame of the harp there was a spot that looked like it had been planed off. So basically it looked as if something got through the outer lid, the plastic lid, and then right onto the harp frame. Either something sharp or acid.
But it's okay. I have 3 days to return it and get my money back. Would have been nice, but oh well…
