  Subject: Rebuilding an upright


  I just got a call to rebuild a Stieff upright which the customer believes was made in the 1920"s. He wants a new soundboard, pinblock etc.

  While I have installed many soundboards (I don't make my own) and pinblocks in grands, I have never replaced any in uprights. 

  I have two questions: 1, Is it more or less difficult to replace a soundboard and pinblock on an upright?  2, Comparative price. How should I estimate the job as compared to a grand.

  Thanks for any input.
