Antique inverted grand piano. Built by Paul G. Mehlin, who first devised the method of mounting the full-sized grand piano mechanism into an upright piano. Will hold a tune but has not been tuned in. All I know it’s that it was originally from around 1915 and was professionally rebuilt in 1980. It’s in great condition overall and just needs some minor work (well, minor in the grand-scheme of piano work). Mehlin and Sons 6’4″ Grand Piano Built in 1905.
