Re: Stronghold Iron Frames
The secret is to lift the pin slightly so the grip is released, and the pin moves nice and smoothly. since the pins all have a distinctly raised attitude to start with, a Blüthner lever with a good angled head helps.

Value in actual cash aside, '20s Chappells can be extraordinarily good, although this one sounds as if it could be a bit too far gone.

Re: Mid 1800s Kirkman Piano-How much should I sell for?
There pianos have no following in the piano trade whatsoever, but occasionally people rescue them from destruction by giving them a home. Ask Bill Kibby in the "History" section for advice.
I'll make you an offer for the Chevy though.
