Replying to subject about converting Artrio to Duo-Art.  Terry, as a
former President of AMICA (goals = preservation, education and
distribution) why would you want to?  In my book it would be better to
GIVE away an intact instrument to someone who would preserve/restore it
than to make it into a bastard Duo-Art upright.

Don't we all know the market for the upright models?  Great as they are,
the don't sell quickly even though they sound better than the 5-foot
grands.  Plus, strange conversions are worth nothing.  Haven't you and I
discussed this before?

My advice, sell reasonably, or give it away with the rolls.  You already
know you can't get rich on these musical instruments.  Preserve it.
