Professionally Restored by Frank Hennessy, RPT of Columbia, Missouri.
Many shops will just slap in a new action and say its restored. Not Frank. This is the vintage restored "original puppy". This baby is just like it was on the Steinway showroom in 1875! Mint! If you restore a Rolls Royce automobile, it should be as good as this Steinway.
