I`ve just gotten an old upright from my local church
a few keys stick but it is easily repaired as its only a wee bit of rust and dirt. it is very out of tune (last time it was marked tuned was 1933) and has a slight split on the sound board, was it worth taking?
aslo has anyone heard of the make Blackwood & Co of London?

old upright
Barry, the pianos tuning pins sit about 5 mm out from the tuning block, would i have to replace it, the piano has been sitting in front of a radiator in the church.And our local piano tuner has refused to tune it.
