Because  I have a great deal of work to do, I am forced to concentrate my efforts on all matters which concern the tasks before me.   Sadly, the telephone has become a constant source of interruptions to the work schedule which consist largely of people seeking free information and telemarketers.   I lose between one and two hours each day to these people when I answer the phone.   Because of this, I have been forced to shut off phone communication so that I can better serve my customers.  In addition, the email spammers have become so thick that I am getting thousands of spams per day.  They are so thick that even spam busting software cannot stop them.  The spam has flooded my email so badly that I can no longer gain access to my own email.  Even after trying a change to the email address, the spammers found us again in a very short time.  Each time I try to access my email I simply get "timed out" because of all the junk that is in the folder.   Although I would love to be able to communicate via email, I have been totally blocked from that venue by these parasites.  If you wish to communicate with me, the best method at this time is to send a letter to the address listed above.  I know this seems slow compared to other rebuilders, but it will be well worth the effort since the quality available here is of the highest order.

Click the thumbnails below to see photos of this 1928 Knabe grand which is for sale currently.  This piano will need to be rebuilt before it is ready for use but is a wonderful example of Knabe's pianos.  It will make an excellent piano at a very reasonable cost.  Current asking price for this piano is $3500 and restoration will include everything and cost about $15k.  When done, I can just about guarantee that this piano will rival or exceed any Steinway of similar size for tone, touch and appearance.  Restoration to include new satin finish, new pin block, new sound board, new bridges, new action, etc...

Click below to see a photo of this Cornish Orchestrion which is for sale.   This piano has been reconditioned and has a new player mechanism.  It lights up when playing and contains glockenspiel, bass drum/timpani, cymbal crash and roll, tambourine, triangle, wood block, snare drum tap and roll, and a 25 cent coin operation option along with constant "on."  The coin will activate the piano for one song and then shut it off automatically.  This unit plays "O" rolls which contain between 10 and 15 songs per roll.  New "O" style rolls are readily available.  Asking price for this piano is $10k.

Click below to see this Schimmel Giraffe piano which I currently have for sale.   To the best of my knowledge this is a one of a kind piano.  The only other unit similar to it is in the Schimmel Museum in Germany.  This piano needs a museum grade restoration before it will be ready for use.  The quality and condition are such that the piano will serve quite well as a constant use unit despite its age; once the restoration is completed.  Asking price for this piano is $25k and restoration will cost $25k due to the plan for restoring it while making museum grade records of each action during rebuilding.  Since the true value of this piano is easily in the area of six figures, this is a very reasonable price to pay in order to acquire such a rare and important piece of piano manufacturing history.  The string length alone on this piano makes it special.  The bass strings are similar in length to those you would find on a seven foot grand!
