I have a friend in San Mateo, California (near San Francisco) who has
a 1911 Weber Duo-Art baby grand and a large roll collection that she
wants to sell.  She tells me that the piano has a Brazilian mahogany
case, in very good condition.  She indicates that the piano plays,
but needs work.

I was hoping that someone might know of a good appraiser, who is
knowledgeable about Duo-Arts, in the Bay Area.  I have advised her
to have her piano and roll collection appraised professionally before
she attempts to sell it, but it would be much better if I could put
her in touch directly with someone who could do this.

If you know of, or if you are yourself, someone who is in that area and
could do such an appraisal, please send me an email; use the temporary
email address <pianoappraiser@wstco.com>.  Thanks in advance for any
assistance or information.
