I am sure most people would still want to work on their Steinway and even if it gets damaged some way or other, like me, would want to have it repaired - that's because Steinway is still the brand known for the finest instruments built by hand. The difficulty that most of the owners of antique Steinway Grand Piano face is lack of adequate after-service for Steinway , my cousin recently had to spend hours together to trace the right agency who can do the job.

Depends on a lot of things. Pianos being wood, they can warp greatly. Depends what shape the keys are in, and the action between the keys and the mallets that strike the wires/stings. Is it all keys or just some? does it just sound off? Sadly, I don't know unless you give me more information.All that said, you can find a used one for cheap and even free sometimes. Just get one out of your local newspaper. Ours regularly has pianos in the *to be given away/bargin* section.Being a piano restorationist of 20 years experience, I can say with confidence that, despite their complexity, pianos can endure some of the most horrible occurances. I had a family member who left their piano outside in the rain and snow for two or three years. When they finally moved it into their trailor, the thing actually still played OK. Now, that is obviously an extreme example and you can't count on it to be the case with yours. However, piano movers (and I know dozens) expose pianos to bits of raindrops getting pianos in and out of the house and their truck every day with no harm to the piano. Especially if you wife it off right away with a soft absorbant cloth towel. If you wish to learn more about high end piano restoration, the biggest web site on piano restoration on earth is located at http://www.pianorestoring.com/index.htm. I think that it has something like 379 pages of data listed for free.

Why does a piano have 88 keys?
Not all pianos have 88 keys, although most modern pianos do. Pianos have roughly 88 keys because of the reach of the the player. Early pianos often had 85 keys. There was pressure to standardise on a number because composers wouldn't want to to write for keyboards if not all pianos could play them. Some modern keyboards have extra keys; usually these are hidden under a flap that can be raised if required - some jazz players like to have the extra bass notes. Having the extra notes also adds resonounce to other (conventional) bass notes.

The Dania - as the butterfly grand piano made by Søren Jensen is named - was first time presented in 1908, and the production did run until 1921-23 (factory closed in 1921 but it is assumed that the production continued until they ran out of the special die-cast iron frames for this model.
It really depends on the version of the Dania, as to the pricing. If you add a picture I can tell whether it is a standard production version or a model in special design made on exclusive basis. The factory of Søren Jensen was welll known as a place where you could order and get special cabinet-work.
I could suggest to look up the facebook group under "Søren Jensens pianofabrik"... here you find more news on the topic.

Steel was relatively consistently produced in India and china and Europe by about 300bc. Falcatas, a spanish sword type, made of steel have been dated to 400bc and steel from Noricum was famous during these times. Swords from Noricum have been dated from 300bc and onwards. The quality of the iron ore was essential in those days, so steelmaking was probably restricted to smiths with access to ore from certain rare mines.
steel was became widespread in east Africa at a early date and in nubia in ancient times around 315 b.c. or earlier and more so in later ancient times.
Steel was known in antiquity, and may have been produced by managing the bloomery so that the bloom contained carbon.Some of the first steel comes from East Africa, dating back to 1400 BC in Tanzania.
Iron and steel manufacturing technology was present in the Eastern African nations of Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, , and others dating back to the 7th century B.C and in Tanzania in earlier. The smelters used to make iron and steel were far superior to that used by the rest of the world.
Until 200 years ago European steel making technology consisted of "bloom" iron production and "cold-blast" steel production. The Haya of Tanzania , Yoruba of Nigeria and a certain of other groups in Africa used technology in their steel furnaces that pre-heated the air to produce carbon steel that was significantly more advanced than European steel
What kind of piano is a forte piano?
The technical term for a piano is a piano-forte. Piano means soft in musical terms. Forte means loud. The piano is termed piano-forte (soft-loud) largely because of its ability to produces many levels of sound.
It is tuned to original pitches, it can be used to tune anything, (meaning C-note written down for piano music is actual C pitch for all musical instruments). It also has all the whole range of notes that almost all if not all compositions of music are written in.
