    I have recently acquired an 1880 Hornung Moller grand piano (see pics) Has anyone rebuilt one of these and can help me with my project?  Thanks much, Stan 763-438-9976

    On similar 3/4 plate Knabe I built in 2”by2” steel angle inside pinblock during new pinblock making and piano got surprisingly good tuning stability. Action has to be redesigned from abstract to capstan. WNG could make you action if you provide scale sticks. Same with Demper action.Unless it has historical or centimental value restoration of such pianos is musically and financially not very reasonable.
