Knabe Ampico Grand

The issue wasn't the rebuilding quality.  The piano became less than
perfect and I was not willing to define it as perfect in an attempt to
sell it, nor was I willing to patch it up.  It is funny how my strict
honesty has actually been criticized.  But word of mouth spread and it
sold.

I have also placed well over 500 rolls on eBay, for those who might be
interested -- about half Ampico and half rag 88 note rolls.  Thanks!
