Subject: Piano restoration
Date: August 1
Hello Mr. Parkes,
I own a piano that I would like to have restored. It is one of the very first Steinway & Sons pianos manufactured, and dates back to the mid-1800s. It has been in my family for over a century.
I would like a quote to have the piano fully restored. This restoration will involve the piano’s internal mechanics as well as the piano’s wood, which has several deep scratches. The piano stool will also need restoring. Remarkably, all of the piano’s ivory keys are still in perfect condition.
As I would probably qualify for free pickup and delivery, could you also tell me which transport company you use?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Benjamin Rothschild
