Dunno yet. Previous experience with bandsaws indicates that the widest blade turning at the highest speed with snails running the power feed. Spring pressure (feather boards) on the outside of the board before the blade. If it's not too bad the jointer will shape it up, or the planer. There really isn't any way to get a straight cut without a 36" Tannewitz running a 3 inch blade and about 4 hooks an inch.

I want to respond to those Craigs list "Free Piano" ads and scavenge the sound board. Make speaker cabinets out of it. Hundred year old spruce ought to know how to vibrate by now. The outside of the piano should make pretty head cabs.

Well then, if It's in the Celler; expain to the current owner that there will be a certain amount of dissassembly required.

Chainsaw, cutting torch, bolt cutters.

Hey, we got of topic a bit.

Where does one get the bobbins and the Es and Is. No way I'm tin snipping those out of stock. Somebody gotta sell the stuff.
