My wife and I restore Steinway pianos for a living. Well mainly anyways we restore everything actually but we are booked out about 3 years on pianos. This is known a Louis Steinway Circa around 1910-1917. This full grain filled finished Mahogany piano took FOREVER for us to complete. It was such an extensive restoration we did probably 5 or so black satin Steinways at the same time. This piano was painted white with all the carvings painted gold. It was really really ugly. The lid was broke in half even. Now you can't even tell it happened and that it's even the same piano. What a pain in the ass this one was. Some of our best work ever went into this oldie.
