Restorations - Original/Modern/Safety
By Jon Miller
It seems to me that in the "debate" concerning restorations and whether or not to use the "original - possibly unsafe parts" or modern techniques, there is one idea I have not yet seen proposed.
Personally, were I to find myself in this predicament, what I would do is this: For my own peace of mind I would use modern methods/parts/etc. However, I would save all the original parts - perhaps in a plastic bag which is then attached to the inside of the piano.
Doing this, I then have my own piece of mind, yet, should I be interested in selling it some day, and the buyer felt is was worth less because of the new parts, the old ones would still be there for re-installation.
Just a thought - - -
