Condition Report
The underside of the sound board is signed by the restorer John Hartman, dated 1990. The soundboard has a few hairline cracks beginning to form. There is a Dampp-Chaser device on the underside. Not all of the keys strike and return properly; some of them stick a little and some of them are yellowing/discolored. The ebonized finish has some scuffs and scratches as well as dusty areas. One of the legs has some large chips on its edges.
The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to
age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and
restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition
they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make
no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind
as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue
description or a condition report shall not amount to a full
accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Hindman
staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the
Department prior to bidding.
The absence of a posted condition report on the Hindman website or

item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for
inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect
the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have
requested, received and understood any condition report provided
by Hindman.
